By CHT Architects
Inspired by the Bauhaus movement, Craftworks has been designed to support and encourage collaborative thinking. It is a collective, with opportunities to interconnect and network on every level via a thoughtfully arranged internal program. Voids throughout the building allow for the penetration of natural light and further visual connectivity.
Craftworks will become an ecosystem of its own in which tenants share ideas, inspiration and momentum. Containing a gallery, theatre, creative hub, café, wellness centre and rooftop gardens, Craftworks is a lifestyle for businesses who are passionate about their craft.
The holistic nature and “community connectedness” of Craftworks continues with a “closed-loop” approach to sustainability, inspired by permaculture farming.
This includes the use of sustainable materials and energy attributes such as solar panelling and biophilic elements, as well as a genuine “farm-style ecosystem” that includes a rooftop orchard and veggie garden, chickens, café-food-scrap recycling/composting and even beehives!
