Crone Office 680 George Street / Crone Architects

Crone had been in its Kent Street premises for 25 years where the staff was spread over three levels with little connection between the practice and visiting clients. So, they began to search for a new location. Crone recognized the potential for this space that was originally earmarked to accommodate an indoor lap pool and fitness center. Level 18 (just above podium height, but with grand views north down George Street) had been used by Ernst & Young as their mail and storage room for over ten years. It was dusty and dirty with giant compactors dotted around the floorplate.
