In 1997 the building was sold. The factory and office were adapted for alternative use. Using the provisions of the City Planning Scheme a new brief was developed to transform the place into a studio of some 300 square metres.
The project is a good demonstration of what can be done to a redundant building to suit a new purpose. It makes maximum use of the existing structure and uses devices to accommodate a more intensive use.
