the practice

Located at 82 Warwick Street, Hobart, we have recycled the old Halls Machinery Building by inserting conference room, library/staff room and work stations into the open volume workshop at Street level. Print area and archival storage occur at lower ground level. The building demonstrates our commitment to sustainability in design practice.
