Transforming a historic warehouse into a contemporary family home and office, blending rich textures and spacious volumes with cozy private areas.
Warehouse Conversion 2010.
The warehouse was built in the early 1900s, Used as a storeroom for a nearby supermarket; the red brick building was converted into a mechanics workshop in the 1920s. Over the years it has had many lives and most recently an office.
This project was a conversion of an old warehouse into a family home and office space. The brief was to retain large volume spaces whilst creating cosy private spaces for bedrooms. The house retains rich textures in the building, with exposed timber beams, bluestone and red brick interior walls juxtaposed with clean contemporary plaster walls and 2pack joinery. This project allowed re-working of elements from the past to create interesting layering in the design.
