Services
Our strategies always respect the exisiting building fabric and seek to reuse, adapt & balance contemporary needs with conservation values. Carste Studio specialises in providing a comprehensive range of services relating to heritage planning and assessment and design of conservation and contextually sensitive projects.
In this place, the building not only had to be a successful space for its purpose, but also had to be best fit into the heritage context and still be resoundingly contemporary in form. Combined with the railway gates and stencilled tracks, the locative shed and the coal truck commemorate and interpret in a strong form, the former railway and tramway presence and their importance to the growth of Wallsend.
Refurbishment and Adaptive Reuse form a cornerstone of our practice philosophy and the foundation of sustainable development. Here are some examples. A new residence that will form a juxtaposition with an existing Former School House, Heritage building on site.
