The site is in an industrial zone in the North West of Sydney. It is on the edge of a sandstone ridge, surrounded by native bushland and a creek. There are views south to the fast-growing skyline of Sydney’s second city, Parramatta, in the geographic centre of the sprawling metropolis.

The small industrial zone is low scale with well-maintained gardens surrounding the factories, offices and warehouses. The building sits inside a larger complex with twenty other warehouse units and offices in two adjacent buildings. An existing warehouse and office were demolished to allow for the construction and the original ‘clinker’ bricks were salvaged, cleaned and reused in the café, courtyard and landscaping.

The client’s representative was an architect and so the brief allowed a little room for more than just the minimal programmatic and function requirements.The program was for a warehouse building accommodating 10, 200+sqm warehouses with mezzanine storage areas, a café and parking for 40 cars.

About the
Professional

RAAarchitects is a design oriented architectural practice focused on delivering high quality residential & commercial projects . Our aim is to produce architecture that has both a good functional layout and simple elegant form. This design approach is fundamental to every decision along the construction process.

Our projects are designed and documented using ArchiCAD in 3D. This enables clients to fly through the 3D model with us and receive regular 3D updates of the project to view on their computer or mobile devices. With this system we are able to thoroughly coordinate consultant input as they update and ensure no drawing conflict.

Our primary focus in design is created by a strong desire to benefit more people through architecture and it is this goal which drives us to produce solutions most sensible to every project. Combined with successive processes of renew, rethink, reinvent, RAAA delivers a unique and value-added outcome to every project.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
