> Conversion of an existing warehouse to create a new St Kilda office for an established Real Estate Agency. The existing bland box was ‘re-skinned’ with a new facade of perforated pre-weathered ‘Coreten’ steel. A landscaped screen provides a green outlook and ‘signposts’ the building. Additional floor area was created by inserting mezzanine spaces within the existing building volume, while maintaining the existing lofty ceilings over the ‘public’ areas.
