Carlton Warehouse is a minimalist house located in Melbourne, Australia, designed by Kennedy Nolan. Conceptually, this is a house built within a picturesque ruin, the formal expression is composed of fragments of masonry which recall industrial uses and which obscure conventional domestic tropes.  Our architectural approach illustrates the trajectory of the site – it is an adaptive re-use which clarifies and intensifies the perception of its change of use. The somewhat conventional program is expressed as a complex of forms and elements in a garden and privileges the experience of the user.  Particular attention is paid to the arrangement of space in a spiraling organization.
