Reworking a warehouse into an adaptable home with refined materiality, improved circulation, and city views.

Due for completion November 2025
Builder: Owner builder
Spread across four storeys, the existing warehouse conversion was awkwardly arranged, with staircases compromising the main living level. Introducing a lift and off-street parking became the catalyst for rethinking circulation throughout the entire home.

Concept, in construction
A new entry lobby and garage transform the ground-floor façade, giving the building a more functional street presence while setting the tone for the reworked interior.

Concept
4.8-metre ceilings are celebrated in the kitchen, with full-height cabinetry, wrapping the new lift shaft
Cabinetry is detailed with solid oak handles and oak veneer paneling, a crafted layer that speaks to the property’s industrial heritage without resorting to a cold or harsh palette.
Steel balustrades, welded by the owner, bring a precise yet handmade element
Steel-framed doors and tumbled marble checkerboard tiles establish a palette that blends industrial character with timeless classical detailing.
The greatest challenge of the floor plan is in reconciling circulation across four storeys plus the new loft, while incorporating a lift. The solution was a complete reworking of circulation from the ground up, creating a clearer and more efficient vertical journey.
