DARBY STREET COMMERCIAL

With the brief of a minimalist, modern commercial space that seeks to slowly reveal itself to one of Newcastles busiest and most eclectic streets, The design has sought to bring the old Newcastle squash courts back to life .

A skin of zinc tile cladding elegantly wraps the remaining masonry structural wall while the new entry of the building is through a segmented glass and steel facade that provides a glimpse into the building into the double height space.

The original iron gate has been retained and restored which provides a clue as to the buildings original use.
