About This Project
It seems as though if the site is contaminated, has flooding issues and an interesting block shape, that it falls on my desk.
The current home of an organisation that provides meaningful work to people with intellectual disabilities, it was originally designed as two separate factories. It was subsequently modified to be one building. As the work is often food related, hygiene and cool room facilities had to be installed as well as a large staff canteen to provide a safe working environment for the workers.
All highbay areas allow for flexibility, with both doors having turning paths to allow large rigid and large flexible base vehicles (semi-trailers) to manoeuvre on-site, reverse into loading areas, and side load containers.
Large office areas with upper floor balconies provide a comfortable work environment for all.
Total budget, including fitout, was $9m

The process of dealing with councils can be daunting. We have over twenty years of experience running a design practice in Sydney and have in that time dealt with most Councils and experience a wide range of project types and challenges.
Our clients come to us looking for solutions to projects in residential, commercial and industrial categories. Heritage is a large part of working in the more established areas of Sydney.
Our projects have been featured in media including print and television, including Grand Designs Australia and work with Selling in the City.
Our name reflects that the process and production of our built environment brings with it a responsibility to be an agent of positive change. Benefits should be felt and experienced not only by our clients, but also for all others impacted by it. This is especially true in regards to our use of resources during construction, and the long term consumption of resources.
