Paramount Pictures

Nominated for a National Trust Award and recipient of a 2014 Special Commendation by the NSW Institute of Architects, the project involves the major refurbishment of the existing heritage listed Paramount Pictures building in Surry Hills.  The design response included a new cafe and retail spaces fronting Commonwealth Street opening onto a garden light-well to the rear.  The project is a lean and considered solution to very complex constraints associated with an iconic heritage building.

Completion Date: 2011, David Hart for Fox Johnston Architects - additional fit-out works completed by Youssofzay & Hart.
