Camperdown Warehouse:

Party and Partitions

This warehouse conversion creates a flexible three bedroom residence within the raw concrete shell of what was originally a carriage assembly factory.

PROJECT STORY

The entire interior of the existing apartment was stripped to reveal the concrete shell. A series of flexible living spaces including three bedrooms were constructed, with a series of movable partitions supported by a lightweight steel frame.

Each of the spaces open towards the main volume, so that the flexibility in partitioning also delivers shared spaces that add a feeling of generosity throughout. The spaces can all open up to function as one large room, or as a series of private pavilions within the volume.
