OVERVIEW
An extensive refurbishment of the first Harry Seidler-designed 1950s commercial building into a modern workplace, WorkHouse returns the dilapidated building to its mid-century heyday but with a homely twist. The all-new workplace provides a natural working environment that supports play and fitness. It also adds visual interest to the otherwise lacklustre streetscape.
