Provost Street

Provost Street’s façade transitions smoothly from refurbished Victorian brick to a modern extension clad in anodised metalwork and heritage-style glazing. The two new upper levels, floors 4 and 5, amplify the existing character with a contemporary update defined by recessed fins. Inside, the Victorian character again receives a 21^st-century modernisation. Warm timber accents and contemporary lighting accent the central concrete and brick staircase serving the original floors, while a new metal staircase connecting the upper floors delicately contrasts the surrounding aesthetic.

Engineered timber and pared-back columns mirror the original details in the floors below. Expansive glazing, rough-sawn timber flooring and a medley of natural textures give the floorplates elegance appropriate to the building’s character – with all the modern trimmings. Strong materials like brass and iron pay homage to the area’s industrial history, as do the warehouse windows on the ground floor. In contrast, natural timber finishes, greenery and carefully curated soft furniture encourage a modern feeling of comfort and community.

There are always two sides to the story. In the case of Provost Street, those sides are exterior and interior, with an interplay that captivates the imagination.

Provost Street represents a new standard in collaborative commercial space design. What began as a beautiful but ultimately outdated Victorian building is now an exemplar of how Thirdway works together for better outcomes.

Better for our clients, better for the building occupants, and better for Thirdway Trust beneficiaries.
