Revitalization of historic squash courts into a minimalist commercial space featuring zinc tile cladding and a striking glass and steel facade, seamlessly blending old and new in the heart of Newcastle.

With the brief of a minimalist, modern commercial space that seeks to slowly reveal itself to one of Newcastles busiest and most eclectic streets, Fabric has sought to bring the old Newcastle squash courts back to life.

A skin of zinc tile cladding elegantly wraps the remaining masonry structural wall while the new entry of the building is through a segmented glass and steel facade that provides a glimpse into the building into the double height space.

The original iron gate has been retained and restored which provides a clue as to the building's original use.

“We worked with Brent at Fabric to renovate our 1950's beach house into a beautiful family home, including lots of custom pieces that respected the heritage of the building. He's very easy to work with and respected our ideas, often creating something beautiful out of my abstract ideas (and mis-matched Pinterest board). He worked within our budget and managed the builder and trades perfectly to deliver a week ahead of our expected finish date.”
