Austin Maynard Architects converted a old factory tucked inside a Fitzroy laneway into a three-storey residence. Starting with what the client initially described as “a pile of bricks,” the design retained the raw character of the industrial shell while introducing contemporary living spaces. The floor plan is anchored by a three-storey central atrium that draws natural light down through the compact footprint and connects each level. Robust original brickwork and steel are paired with warm timber and clean modern detailing, softening the industrial structure without erasing its history. Kaur was completed in 2014 and working alongside builder Blu Seven. the project went on to achieve a record sales result for the area.
