Architect Prineas' intent for the project is to create an economical interior complementing the remarkable materiality, scale and spatial qualities of the original industrial container. The project eschews the domestic in favour of the scale of the original building. Its oversized structural grid of Oregon columns and beams provide the cue for different interior settings. The service rooms are pulled away from the perimeter and consolidated into a central pod consisting of gallery kitchen, bathroom, en suite and laundry. By doing this the scale of the monolithic pod sits comfortably with the scale of the original building.
This single element sets the planning, dividing private from public and service from served. Old and new flooring have been stained to provide a consistent finish. In the living areas large plywood sheets provide an economical flooring glued directly to an acoustic substrate. Sanded, stained and polished, the sheets take on a new materiality. Plywood is similarly used to extend the floor as stairs and benches. The full height pivot doors, handles and mirrors serve to extend the reading of the space.
