HUME AND ISER

Engaged to design a new garden centre extension to the existing warehouse style hardware building, the new “Greenlife” building created a greenhouse or conservatory inspired building.

This new building re-set the entry to the centre, creating a new central retail axis, connecting to a new carpark located at the north east end. The extension utilised natural hardwood timbers, passive design and scale to ensure the new customers would innately understand the shift in Hume and Iser’s future aspiration for an environmental conscious business . An internal courtyard allows for the plant displays and garden supplies to be front and centre rather than in a rear yard.
