A key to the success of this award winning residential development, was its dramatic conversion that retained the unique spatial and material character of the historic warehouse.
Sydney City Council kept a close eye on the project to ensure that the architectural significance would be retained and recorded.
This was achieved, for example, by the successful replacement of the timber framed windows that satisfied environmental, thermal and safety requirements and resident friendly opening sashes, but retained the original window configuration.
The original hardwood timber beams and columns were retained and incorporated into the design to ensure an understanding of the massive structure of the warehouse.
