A 2 storey brick warehouse has been converted to a family home, with an internal courtyard and terrace formed by removal of sections of roof. The upper level serves as the living accomodation, while the lower level is given over to the garage, guest suite, entry hall and an equine genetics laboratory.
There was a strong emphasis on maintaining an industrial feel to the conversion and the owners asked that there be no timber, marble or black finishes used in the renovation. Colour has been introduced through the cork flooring and large scaled furniture pieces.
The upper level is divided on strict alignment to the existing trusses, with the underside of the trusses used as a horizontal datum. All solid walls stopping at this level and clear glazing installed above to enclose the cellular spaces, allowing visual continuity throughout the space.
