Our design for the three-acre block off Lygon Street, with its 65-year history as a commercial bakery, has transformed the site into a thriving development comprising residential apartments, townhouses, commercial offices and childcare facility.
A 1940s Dutch art deco heritage façade, with its strong vertical and horizontal polychrome brick work, forms the starting point for the landmark project, comprising six distinct blocks, strategically located and designed to allow greater public accessibility.
The project has been extensively landscaped, integrating public areas with spaces accessible by private residents only and includes bike racks for more than 250 bikes.
The two buildings that embrace existing facades along Edward and Weston streets have been designed to respond to original Dutch art deco styling. The studio sensitively added to the composition while retaining significant parts of the Heritage building.
Abstract notations of the bakery production process contribute to the personalities of each building, leading to the formation of more organic, curvaceous, interconnected forms. For example, the concept for the sixth building, Silo, is derived from the interlocking nature of wheat, with balconies and privacy screens merging to become an integral composition.
The former stable block on Weston Street is the second historic building to be integrated within the development. The block was lost within the wider context of a later building. Now the hidden side of the stable block is revealed in its entirety and is reused as the entry to East Lane and the entrance to the building.
Situated behind and above the historic façade a series of metal framed boxes, each with subtly differing internal lining leading to movement within the façade when viewed obliquely along Weston Street. Four, elongated boxes to the west of the historical building sit upon the more substantial structure of the ground floor commercial unit.
Other buildings in the project also draw on abstract notions of the baking process and are appropriately titled Malt, Grain, Silo, Rye and Seeds. A Child Care Centre for 60-70 children is situated on the top level of the Seeds building and includes a sweeping, structural roof structure and classrooms accompanied by outdoor play areas.
The east laneway is open to public use but has a heightened sense of privacy, partially generated by the more organic special forms; narrowed entry points, a portal through the historic facades and the changing landscape surfaces
