After a fire destroyed an existing single storey warehouse, Nelson Architects were engaged to redevelop the site as a 2-storey Office/Showroom/Warehouse facility.
Substantially improving the previous accommodation, the new development provides 450m² of warehousing with mezzanine, 200m² of new offices and showroom and carparking for 12 cars.
The office, veiled in a perforated metal sunscreen, elegantly floats over the glazed, ground floor show room and sits proudly forward of the functional warehouse to the rear.
The corrugated metal character of the surrounding industrial context is referenced in a contemporary manner through carefully considered material selections. The prominent, vertically delineated screen provides a striking yet fitting addition to the Hindmarsh streetscape.
