Undertaken in collaboration with Turner Studio, this project reinterpreted the industrial identity of the inner south. The typical two bar linear block solution was avoided, breaking the building into four distinct volumes to introduce additional permeability, natural light and cross ventilation into the site. A richly planted central courtyard offers relief and amenity, contrasting to the robust perimeter forms.
Architecture AND congratulate the winning firm of Candalepas Associates.
The proposal sought to create buildings that are both background; contributing to the continuity of street-wall architecture in the precinct; and foreground; possessing a strong identity on their own.
Architecture that's second to nature AND design thinking to make cities work. Working across a breadth of natural and urban settings, our projects are materially rich and geometrically precise, with a deep sense of care underpinning all that we do.
