建于1939年，作为S.Hoffnung and Company Ltd.的仓库，在该建筑开始后，一系列毫无同情心的改变削弱了该建筑的质量和特征。采用了一种创新的设计方法，使建筑恢复往日的辉煌，提供一个现代化、现代的工作场所，并取得了确保项目商业可行性的结果。创新包括：
Built in 1939 as a warehouse for S. Hoffnung and Company Ltd, an accretion of unsympathetic alterations following the building’s inception diminished the building’s quality and character. An innovative design approach was adopted to return the building to its former glory, deliver a modern, contemporary workplace and achieve a result that ensured the commercial viability of the project. Innovations included:
/ The addition of three new levels of contemporary office accommodation, the area for which was awarded via the City of Sydney’s Heritage Floor Space program.
/可持续发展的先进方法，包括90%以上的现有外墙和60%的现有结构的再利用，以及地板下机械系统的使用，所有这些都有助于该项目获得绿星五星“设计”和“竣工”评级。
/ An advanced approach to sustainability, including the reuse of over 90% of the existing façade and 60% of the existing structure and the use of an underfloor mechanical system, all of which contributed to the project achieving a five star greenstar ‘design’ and ‘as built’ rating.
/考虑将屋顶景观作为主要立面，从而增强城市的视觉舒适性。这是通过隐藏植物和创造一系列可居住的景观屋顶梯田来实现的。
/ Consideration of the roofscape as a primary elevation, thereby enhancing the visual amenity of the city. This was achieved through the concealment of plant and the creation of a range of inhabitable, landscaped roof terraces.
新的楼层从克拉伦斯街的正面往后退，以确保它们创造出一个隐性和富有同情心的背景，使遗产建筑的形式和设计特征能够清晰地被阅读。这种延伸的轻巧的“木材”表达与原始砖石建筑的坚固和重量形成对比，同时也加强了建筑的对称性。
The new floors are set back from the Clarence Street frontage to ensure that they create a recessive and sympathetic backdrop that allows the form and design features of the heritage building to be clearly read. The lightweight, ‘timber’ expression of this extension, contrasts with the solidity and weight of the original masonry building as well as reinforcing the building’s symmetry.
工程包括保护和维修克拉伦斯街和肯特街的外墙，所有楼层的内部翻新，新的核心和电梯，并拆除1970年代的顶层。克拉伦斯街的立面工程包括底层的整体重建和黑色花岗岩覆层的恢复、悬臂雨篷和时钟的恢复。
The works included conservation and repair of the Clarence and Kent Street façades, internal refurbishment of all floors, a new core and lifts and removal of the 1970s top floor. The Clarence Street façade work included the total reconstruction of the lower levels and the reinstatement of the black granite cladding, the cantilevered awning and clock.
位于大楼南侧的新核心提供了一个开放的、连续的地板，促进了连通性。弯曲的核心回应了原始“装饰”建筑的流线型细节。同样，在屋顶上，两个“漏斗”式的厂房让人联想到20世纪30年代的远洋班轮，加强了建筑与过去的联系。
The new core located on the south side of the building delivers an open, contiguous floorplate facilitating connectivity. The curved core responds to the streamlined details of the original ‘deco’ architecture. Similarly at roof level, the two ‘funnels' containing plant are evocative of 1930s ocean liners, reinforcing the building’s links to the past.
