The Younghusband Woolstore Redevelopment reimagines a 122-year-old redbrick wool store and adjoining network of industrial early 20th-century buildings as a new mixed-use commercial precinct.
Using an approach that seeks to “lightly touch” the existing historic structures, architecture studio Woods Bagot will retain the rich heritage character of the brick warehouses, including decommissioned bale lifts, original Younghusband ghost signage, and a distinctive sawtooth roof that was originally installed to help merchants scrutinise the quality of the wool beneath the natural light.
Join the project team restoring and reimagining this building for a tour of the site as it is transformed into a vibrant industrial village. This guided tour will be followed by a Q&A session with interior design leaders, project architects and contractor Built, as the project team discusses the challenges and opportunities of working within a rich heritage framework.
NOTE: This is an active construction site, so appropriate footwear must be worn. We will provide PPE, but if you have your own hard-hat and high-vis jackets, please bring along.
