Preserving the quality and quantity of the built form was key to maintaining the historical significance, in-turn a maximum care minimum impact approach was adopted. Juxtaposition of meaningful contemporary intervention highlights the history of the existing structure against the new functions housed within and around.
The Goods Shed transformation has converted a once dormant precinct into a lively community space elevating activity and cultural awareness of the greater Claremont precinct.
