This heritage listed former Salvation Army hall, the Citadel, is once again at the heart of the community. A design brief rich in the building’s history, our approach was an amalgamation of industrial, art deco and federation. While the home had to be as distinctive as the building itself, complete creative freedom saw us explore and experiment with raw materials, flooring and colour. This allowed us to create a family home and living environment which was truly unique and in line with our client’s creative background including an eclectic art collection and antiques.
