New and old
Exploring the relationship between the new and old allowed for a number of exciting design features. A 4 storey height atrium between the two buildings houses a bright and airy circulation space, with cantilevered walkways and views out to the adjacent neighbourhood.

Historic character
The design celebrates the generous proportions and historic character of the police station to create a series of high quality living spaces.
An exploration in preservation and conservation, the bold new architecture revitalises the handsome police station through the use of a restrained and considered palette of materials, providing exceptional housing with a focus on quality and individuality."

Two distinct buildings
The new development sits respectfully behind the existing police station, while still having a character and presence of its own, creating a playful dialogue between the two distinct massing elements.
