ALTERATIONS AND ADDITION

2013-2015

Built in 1939 as a warehouse for S. Hoffnung and Company Ltd, an accretion of unsympathetic alterations following the building’s inception had diminished the building’s iconic quality and character.

The 2013-2015 works included the addition of three level commercial accommodation, conservation and repair of the facades, reconstruction of missing or altered elements and refurbishment of all floors to reinstate the architectural quality of the internal spaces.

When built, 155 Clarence Street represented the design and technological innovation of its day. This project carries on this tradition by creatively merging contemporary and traditional design and technologies.
