Large enough for a growing family, the dwelling comprises three bedrooms and a double garage with access to a shared driveway at the rear. Two bedrooms each with ensuites are located on the top level, while a third bedroom/study with a separate bathroom is on the ground floor entry level.

The living area is located on the mid level of the new three-level dwelling with balconies at each end, extending the spaces externally. Free of walls, it features a long built-in joinery element that stretches down one side, servicing each of the space it passes – a working bench to the kitchen, fireplace and entertainment unit to the family area with ample storage which is critical to inner suburban houses.

Raw and honest materials such as exposed concrete blocks, steel framing and aluminium screens respond to the industrial nature of the site’s history and surrounds. Yellow stringybark timber floors and stairs provide a warm contrast and a material palette that is robust and low maintenance.
