Category Commercial Year 2018 State Queensland City Cairns Photographer Derek Swalwell The brief was for a craft Brewery, Bar, Providore & Restaurant to sit within Shed 2 at the Cairns Cruiseliner Terminal. The existing ‘shed’ has a strong heritage presence which became a driver in the concepts, but also provided a series of challenges in terms of the construction & fit out techniques to ensure that if the brewery ever left the site the shed could be returned to it’s original form. We explored how the history of the wharf can inform the design response. For example, the kind of trade that characterized the industry of the port – grains, sugar and flour were stored in sacks piled up as high as possible like towers and objects that came to define the warehouse, which became a driver of the cage like towers that define the various spaces within the shed.

“I cannot recommend Wolveridge Architects highly enough. Fully alive to the brief from the outset, Jerry worked collaboratively to present us with ideas that took us way beyond our original imaginings. Working within the tight constraints of both limited space and a heritage protected house, Jerry delivered a seamless melding of both old and new that magically accentuates the best of both. The overall design is masterful. The in situ concrete table is, quite simply, incredible and a genius response to our very first discussion. The small details - a floating concrete step; an exposed, internal section of nineteenth century brickwork (to name but two of many) are testament to the considered and inspired thinking. The project was managed brilliantly by Brett and the rest of the team and executed with minimal fuss and to the highest standards. Every question and concern was responded to thoughtfully and with an eye on the budget. The result is stunning. it is a beautiful space to live in. It is a beautiful home.”
