Positioned within the iconic Winchcombe Carson Woolstore, this residence is a sophisticated dialogue between industrial heritage and avant-garde architectural design. Spanning a generous 169 SQM across a dramatic split-level layout, the home transcends the traditional apartment mold, offering a living experience defined by volume, texture, and charm.
Fully reimagined to celebrate its sawtooth roofline and raw structural elements, the home balances the grit of original red brickwork with the rawness of custom concrete and plywood craftsmanship. It is a space where history isn’t just preserved; it is curated.

The heart of the home is an expansive open-plan living and dining zone, where soaring double-height ceilings create a cathedral-like sense of scale. Light-filled and airy, this space flows seamlessly through floor-to-ceiling glass sliders to a private balcony finished in natural bluestone, offering a tranquil vantage point over the leafy Teneriffe streetscape toward the city skyline.
Anchoring the living area is a floor-to-ceiling library wall, complete with a rare original Mote ladder. Rescued from the historic Mote ladder factory that once operated in the area, this piece serves as a functional bridge to the building’s industrial past.
The kitchen is a masterclass in material contrast. A rugged, custom-cast concrete island bench, etched with “Service Area” in a nod to the building’s origins, is balanced by the sleek, clinical lines of a solid Corian back counter. Equipped with high-end Ilve appliances, a Miele dishwasher, and an integrated Vintec wine fridge, it is a culinary workspace designed for the serious entertainer.
Retreating to the main suite on the lower level, reveals a private and delightful space, with private access to the balcony and a walk-in robe. The ensuite is a whimsical tribute to French surrealist René Magritte, featuring custom Bisazza Italian mosaic tiles that read ‘Ceci n’est pas une salle de bain’ (This is not a bathroom).
Beyond the intersection of art and functionality, the generous main bathroom is grounded in luxury with natural bluestone, custom tiling, and a freestanding clawfoot bath set against a moody, monochromatic palette.
The upper mezzanine, finished in striking Black Japan timber floors, offers a versatile loft space, perfect as a study with plenty of storage space and potential to be styled as a third bedroom, that overlooks the void, while the second bedroom on the lower level, with fluted glass sliding doors, provides a private guest retreat with original timber accents and built-in storage.
Intelligence is woven into the floor plan, with a concealed laundry and significant hidden storage solutions tucked discreetly under the stairs and within the primary bathroom.
In this architecturally designed residence, the raw narrative of the Winchcombe Carson Woolstore has a contemporary edge. Every element, from the custom-cast concrete to the integrated high-end appliances and clever hidden storage, has been meticulously executed, offering a turnkey sanctuary for those who value convenience and style.
At your front door, the very best of the 4005 lifestyle awaits. Whether it’s a morning coffee along the boardwalk, an afternoon exploring the boutiques of James Street, or dinner at Howard Smith Wharves, this location offers an enviable balance of absolute connectivity and quiet luxury.
