The building was in a state of severe deterioration and whilst it was perceived to have potential, demolition was initially a serious consideration (as the building was not protected by any heritage overlays).
The original building fabric was retained and an extensive interior scheme was developed which engaged with the industrial history of the building. A new bridge was inserted which connected the two primary buildings providing a social connection between separated spaces.
Much of the exterior brickwork was left intact – including the original painted Golden Crust Bakery signage. Inside, however, the rooms are airy and modern with white walls and minimalist furniture that allow the historic details of the building to shine through. Several of the glass walls open up almost completely, creating valuable indoor/outdoor space.
In order to unite the two primary buildings that make up the home,Jcb inserted a new bridge between the two. An architectural statement in and of itself, the bridge corridor is composed of wooden slats that allow for natural light and ventilation. The newly created space is so pleasant that it can even be used as a social area with seating and views of the grounds.
The client, however, committed to retaining the bakery, and the building was re-invigorated with careful attention to appropriate detailing that both preserves and enhances its semi-industrial appeal.
