Tell us what you did with the space and why? <\/p>\n

The building has beautiful heritage bones \u2013 high ceilings, pressed tin, timber fireplaces and stairs. We retained much of the original character of the space, opening through walls to create a studio area along the facade, with a large meeting room and library occupying the remaining room. We repurposed old but non-original kitchen cabinets as displays and bookshelves.<\/p>\n

Everything has a place \u2013 enough storage to hide the crazy amounts of samples we have.<\/p>\n
