Australia Street Studios

The Australia Street Studio project is an open-plan, warehouse style creative commercial space. The space is used by architects, graphic and web-designers and film-based art directors. The original Art Deco building was Sydney's Studebaker Garage. The design retains some of its original features, such as the glazed tile service pit, while creating a comfortable, airy and modern space to work in. The studio is laid out so that separate businesses can operate under one roof: individual workstations are pushed to the perimeter walls, while a shared library running through the centre of the space gives the space a communal vibe. The studio's meeting space sits on a raised level, which gives it views of the park opposite and provides a sense of separation from the adjacent workstations. Air conditioning is delivered to the space via a central, exposed oval duct system.
