Introduction

Set in the midst of Sydney’s most vibrant and creative communities, Flourmill Studios is set to become one of the city’s most exciting working environments.

Architects Allen Jack+Cottier have collaborated with a skilled project team to create a series of 47 individual studios bursting with character and filled with remnants of the wheels, pulleys and drive-shafts that kept the mill running 24 hours a day.

Studios and common spaces alike will share the warmth of original timbers, the softness of historic painted brickwork and the quirkiness of soda hoppers, old steel fire doors, original loading bays, mezzanines, massive steel beams and double-height spaces.

Steered by the mill’s heritage and a concern for the environment, the recycling of Francis Crago’s 19th century landmark into Flourmill Studios will combine the materials of the past with the latest in services and construction methods, providing a lively setting for the creative businesses of the future.
