A new chapter

Posted on Wed, 15 Jan 2025 by midcenturyjo

In 1985, a historic Redfern warehouse built in 1903 as McMurties Shoe Factory underwent one of Sydney’s first warehouse-to-apartment transformations. Today, Studio Noakes has worked their magic refurbishing one of the apartments. The building’s heritage shines through high ceilings, hardwood columns and exposed rafters. The studio carefully restored and enhanced these industrial features, seamlessly blending history with a contemporary aesthetic. Bold colours, expansive forms and textured spaces highlight the client’s dynamic art collection, showcasing works from local talents. Fusing natural, vintage and iconic pieces has created a vibrant harmony in this young artist’s home. The result is a space that balances historical character with creative energy, reflecting the vibrancy of its inner-city surroundings.
