Industrial Heritage
Building a heritage-enriched future
Artefact’s head office is located on the historic wharves of Pyrmont in Sydney – a place rich in industrial heritage.
The Jones Bay Wharf (circa 1920), where the Artefact Studio is located, was originally designed to export wool and wheat, then used to process troops in the Second World War and later migrants to Australia, the wharf has many stories to tell.
The wharf, now reborn as offices and cafes, has been designed in such a way as to maximise the heritage value of the site.
Our passion for heritage places is just one reason why Artefact is proud to offer consultancy advice to our clients who are looking to re-adapt former sites of industry for contemporary use.
