AUTHORITY: Marrickville Council
CONSULTANTS: Project Manager, Structural, Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Hydraulic, DDA.
DESCRIPTION:
Ozanam Industries is a Special Work of the St Vincent de Paul Society dedicated to enriching the lives of people with a disability through meaningful paid employment. The project required alterations and additions to upgrade the existing facility comprising three adjoining warehouses to create a delivery, storage and packaging facility within a draft conservation area.
INFORMATION ABOUT PROJECT
DTB set out to provide a credible, sustainable model for people living and working with a mental or physical disability which was capable of redefining the interactions between people, their individual happiness, health and wellbeing, community awareness, resource usage and the environment.
Each warehouse space was treated individually to create a clear spatial break between work areas, break out spaces, storage and loading areas.
Features of the employee work space included impressive saw tooth roofs, clerestory glazing, exposed hardwood trusses and beams all utilised to provide natural light, air and vistas. Low lying ‘pods’, each capturing glimpses of the space within which they are nestled.
The break out and office spaces at mezzanine level spring off the existing warehouse walls creating a private terrace looking over the tree lined street.
Client feedback since occupation is that flows, efficiency and employee safety and accessibility have all increased resulting in increased production capacity and reduced resource consumption.

CONSULTANTS:
Architectural, Structural, Catering Equipment Suppliers
DESCRIPTION:
Kiosk and Cafe (Commercial Kitchen) Fit Out including new benching, service counters, cooking, washing, storage, exhaust equipment, services, lighting adjustments, modification of existing partition walls, new partition walls, new floor finishes.
PROJECT INFORMATION:
Designated cafe space in recently constructed building (2010-2013) that had remained empty. The allocated space was very constrained relative to the layout required by the cafe operators. DTB was engaged to design the kitchen and servery layouts.
The operators ran a successful cafe in Cronulla, with warm timber interiors. They wanted to re-create their 'signature' look and replace the proposed stainless steel counters with timber. The builder was excited by the challenge and sourced, treated and shaped timber from a tree that the Client - Inner West Council had removed locally. The counters are now a 'signature' feature of the Cafe as is the transparent look and feel of the entire space as originally designed.
