Jardon Group Pty Ltd

About the winning project

The client’s brief for this project was to update and redesign the interiors in the existing building, and provide much needed garage space. They requested a new bedroom suite and a north-facing roof terrace – all within a contemporary, well-detailed “black box” infill addition. Jardon Group was engaged to convert this old Hat Factory into a high-end three-bedroom residence, with a spectacular view. The building included internal refurbishment of the existing residence and an extension to house the new garage, bedroom and new rooftop entertainment area. The external cladding was constructed using solid steel sheet, providing an industrial look that complemented the 1800s Hat Factory brick building, bringing a subtle modernness to the heavily heritage overlaid building hidden within the bluestone laneways of Carlton.
