Malt District Developement

2019 - 2021

Location: Cremorne, Melbourne

Client: Caydon Properties

Project value: $1 Bil AUD

The Malt district development aimed to transform the historic Nylex site into a vibrant mixed-use precinct, featuring up to 1,000 new dwellings, commercial spaces, and the revitalization of the iconic Nylex Clock.

Set in the heart of Melbourne’s arts, entertainment, and sports precinct, The Malt District is redefining urban renewal—transforming a historic industrial site into a vibrant commercial and cultural hub. From morning to night, the district will pulse with energy as workers, residents, and visitors experience its dynamic mix of retail, hospitality, and creative spaces.

Project Brief

As part of this landmark transformation, I contributed to several key projects within The Malt District as part of Caydon’s in-house design team.

The design vision for The Malt District was to create a cultural icon that celebrates the site's industrial heritage—honoring the silos, breweries, and Melbourne’s rich industrial past. The goal was to uphold Caydon’s commitment to preserving the site’s historic architecture while integrating contemporary urban design to redefine this iconic precinct.

My role within this transformation included completing the concept designs for Coppins Corner Creative Soho offices, designing the amenities and signage for B8 offices, and crafting the lobby design for B8 Nylex offices. Additionally, I was responsible for the Coppins Corner apartment display showroom design and led the Design Development and Tender Documentation phase for the proposed 25hours Hotel.
