Goodhope: A Ribbon of Handmade Bricks Unifies Unique Offices

Historic building with arched windows and decorative exterior, flanked by lush trees.

In the heart of Paddington, Australia, THOSE Architects have transformed a former mechanical garage and a 1960s commercial building into a cohesive, modern office space known as Goodhope. Designed in 2023, this 700-square-metre project seamlessly blends old and new, showcasing a material palette of off-form concrete, Victorian ash timber, and a striking, handmade brick facade. With a focus on sustainability and an elevated domestic sensibility, Goodhope offers a unique workspace that challenges traditional office design.
