Chessell Place

A dramatic fusion of raw industrial character and refined contemporary design, centred around an expansive 8.5-metre-high void creating exceptional scale and volume. Original exposed roof trusses add texture and authentic industrial character, complemented by concrete, steel, glass and timber. Floor-to-ceiling north-facing glazing floods the space with natural light and captures expansive Melbourne city views, creating changing moods throughout the day. A defining feature is the sculptural glass walkway suspended across the central void, creating striking sightlines between levels. Below, the floating sawtooth concrete staircase adds bold geometric form and texture. The open-plan, multi-level layout provides varied perspectives, shooting angles and compositions, with strong architectural impact requiring minimal set dressing. A bold, cinematic interior where industrial heritage meets contemporary architecture, light and Melbourne skyline views.
