现有的建筑建于1921年,当时名为Majestic剧院。它是一个巨大的砖块体,面向新坎特伯雷路有一个高度加工、渲染的外墙。

The existing building was constructed in 1921 as the Majestic Theatre. It is a substantial brick volume with a highly worked, rendered facade to New Canterbury Road.

新项目延续了该地块结构适应性再利用的悠久传统。它在1953年首次被修改,成为一个更现代的电影院。

The new project continues the long tradition of adaptive reuse of the structure on the site. It was first modified in 1953 to become a more contemporary cinema.

1979年,它成为Majestic旱冰场,并成为当地社会俱乐部的所在地,直到最近关闭。

In 1979 it became the Majestic Roller Skating Rink and has accommodated a local social club up until is recent closure.

新工程保留了现有的建筑体量、屋顶轮廓和围墙。
它提供了底层商业/零售用途,包括临街的咖啡馆和上面的3层住宅公寓,27个单元,混合了一居室和二居室的公寓。

The new works retain the existing building volume, roof profile and perimeter walls.
It provides ground floor commercial/ retail uses including street fronting cafè and 3 levels of residential apartments above, 27 units, a mix of one- and two bedroom apartments.

该提案解释了历史上的内部体量,有两个宽敞的空隙,由住宅循环区和半户外花园占据,以实现公寓适当的阳光、光线和通风。

The proposal interprets the historic internal volumes with two generous voids, occupied by residential circulation areas and semi outdoor gardens to achieve appropriate access to sunlight, light and ventilation for the apartments.
