Development for a not-for-profit company, Streat, involved substantial reconstruction and extension of an existing two-storey Georgian house in Collingwood. The property was donated by a philanthropist, and works supported by substantial donations and grants obtained from the social and vocational education undertaken by Streat. The brief was to repurpose the house shell as a hospitality venue and to house the organisation's training, offices, cooking, baking and coffee roasting facilities. Set in a simple industrial-style building, planning was intended to maximize northern light and aspect to the landscaped areas.
Public and Cultural Benefits
• Streat's mission to assist homeless youth by providing hospitality training.
• Revitalisation of a near derelict property, formerly used as a brothel.
• Protection of heritage aspects, despite significant structural condition issues.
• Activation of an industrial street, adding activity missing from the area.
Relationship of Built Form to Context
The Georgian house predates the industrial nature of the surrounding context. In accordance with good heritage practice, structural repairs and repurposing was designed to reveal the pre-Gold Rush construction, including mixed bluestone and brick walls, fireplace construction and early timber framing. Extensive structural stabilisation was required, including reconstruction of the front façade. The development embraces this important heritage place and maintains the house visually from the street within landscaped surrounds. The historic building is linked with a largely transparent lightweight link to the new industrial extension behind, housing main cooking and teaching spaces.
Program Resolution
Key program elements were:
• Café/licensed restaurant
• Office and training spaces
• Bakery and commercial kitchen
• Coffee storage and roasting
• Landscaped areas and vegetable gardens.
• Future growth and expansion
Functions are clearly articulated into the existing and new building volumes. Joined by open verandahs and walkways, planning allowed the spaces to breathe and for clear expression of circulation throughout the site.
Integration of Allied Disciplines
Significant specialized input include:
• George Apted and Associates designed complex structural reinforcement of the existing Georgian building and economical solutions to the very poor founding soils for the new extension.
• Bread Solutions donated and fitted equipment to the bakery.
• Eymac specified and coordinated installation of commercial kitchen equipment.
• Significant site power and gas service upgrades, managed by SPA Consulting.
Sustainability
• Good solar orientation.
• Integrated landscaping.
• Robust low internal emission finishes.
• Board and batten timber cladding.
• Rainwater tanks for landscaping.
• Wiring and switchboard circuits for future solar panels.
Response to Client and User needs
• Protection, restoration and repurposing of the heritage building.
• Simple and cost effective industrial construction to maximize benefit to the organisation.
• Support for not for profit services.
• Activation of the street and providing new services to local residents and businesses.
• Maximizing landscaping and open space.
