Adaptive Re-use and Conservation
The building allowed the opportunity to reveal the old but also feature the new. New works such as doors and windows are detailed with the latest technology but importantly they are made distinctly new. The site is comprised of a number significant existing buildings, built in the 1880’s and is part of a group of buildings at the Stanley Street end of Logan Rd that form a coherent precinct. Great care was taken with the street façade, the design of the street awning and the shop front windows to enhance the dialogue with the precinct. The rear of the site had collected a lot of insensitive additions which were removed to reveal the essential heritage buildings.
The building is a benchmark project for the adaptive re-use of existing Heritage buildings in Brisbane. Care was taken to ensure the building was restored to its finest state with new elements added in a sensitive and respectful manner.
Interiors
The interiors to the project have a great strength derived from the beautiful existing brickwork walls that define a series of bays, with strutted timber joists between. New walls are lightweight panel systems, constructed from natural finished blackbutt timber. The new interior is predominantly timber and this feels in harmony with the existing building. Innovative acoustic solutions in the installation of the level 2 floor and walls have been employed to allow the expression of the original fabric to remain.
