The Marquis of Lorne is a 3 level heritage building situated on the corner of George and Kerr streets, in Fitzroy, Victoria. The building has lasted the test of time for over 150 years, first oppened in 1873 as a hotel and previously used as a pub by Matt Vero and Steve Rowley. Located 2.5 kms from CBD, the site is within close walking distance to Smith, Johnston and Brunswick st with popular retail/restaurant districts and 1.1 km to Victora Park Station.

SITE

04.

DESIGN CONCEPT The new site for the centre of contemporary photography’s artist residency is located across the road from the centre. The program allows travelling artists to work outside their traditional workspaces for a limited period during the year. The interior will have a charismatic aesthetic like the artists that will be occupying the space. The new design for the Marquis of Lorne will include an open space plan to provide the artists with all accommodations needed for their occupancy. The new transformation of the site will provide artists working and living environment that allows uninterrupted time for work, reflection and creative growth. A fully equipped photography studio at ground level as well as a furnished contemporaryindustrial apartment space is provided for occupying levels 1 and 2 with a private terrace for the occupants to

unwind and get inspired. Guided by a simple rule of black, white and tan colour palette, the apartment will feature a monochromatic scheme with concise, textured and functional form. The previous rooftop space has now been transformed into a spacious bedroom ensuite with a walk-in robe that opens into the north-facing terrace. An uninterrupted working space situates at level three, separated from the bedroom through fluted glass doors with black steel handles that tie in with kitchen and bathroom accessories.

A warm and inviting atmosphere will be created through the sensible use of warm colours such as different shades of brown and tan that will be mixed into the overall neutral colour scheme.

A steel spiral staircase will be the wow factor of this interior completing the modern industrial look without compromising the use of space.
