Warehouse is a radical departure from conventional ‘off the plan’ apartment living. Inspired by the Hundertwasser ideal of a tenant’s right of self expression, the project has been designed to evolve with its occupants, offering an affordable ‘warmshell’ chassis that can be tailored to meet resident’s changing needs. Bold and legible in form, Warehouse emphasises design rationality with elegant expression through material and structural efficiency.

Exploring new potential for affordable housing, Warehouse offers a more mainstream alternative to the Nightingale model demonstrating a ‘do it yourself ‘ apartment option that enables purchaser access to conventional bank finance without sacrificing affordability or innovation.

Warehouse re-evaluates how apartment building can be designed, constructed and configured in the Canberra context. The project delivers a socially sustainable apartment typology offering unlimited flexibility in fit out and living options. The richness, flamboyance and detail afforded individual fit outs is testament to a long term engagement with place.
