By Fat Parrot Architecture
Getting the opportunity to bring the interior of an old brick & timber building back to life, was a great challenge. We approached the design with the intent on celebrating the existing architecture by lightening the space, designing large light forms complimenting the beautiful timber ceiling structure and adding pattern/furniture to create a modern, fresh feeling.
