Princess管理区作为布里斯班最古老的郊区之一，是少见的还存有1860年代典型联排住宅的实例。这类建筑被布里斯班市政局列为当地文化遗产，这在满足客户需求以外又给设计师增加了一个重要的挑战。
The ‘Princess Precinct’ is a rare surviving example of terrace houses constructed in the 1860s in one of Brisbane’s oldest suburbs. the building is listed as local heritage with the Brisbane city council, which provided a significant design challenge on top of the client’s brief.
Petrie terrace 本身是郊区一条主干道，所以将原住民变更为当代商业租户是合理的。建筑的每一层都被还原到最原始基本的状态，并增加了新的充满光泽感的结构性立面。这些极少主义立面以及生活方式的叙述在白天保证了内部的私密性但又在亮灯的夜晚提供了对外的开放性。
Petrie terrace itself is a major road in the suburb, so turning the residences into contemporary commercial tenancies seemed logical. All layers of the building had been peeled back to its original condition and a structurally glazed façade was added instead. Together with lifestyle graphics this minimalist façade provides privacy to the inside during the day but offers exposure in the evening when the lights are turned on.
设计将建筑前部的庭院整合为一个公共的空间，设置长椅和桌子来促进租户与当地邻里的社交，这也因此激发了所有租户间的相互交流，包括一个画廊及其隔壁现存的咖啡馆。
The design joins all front yards to one communal space and includes benches and tables to encourage social interaction of the tenants and the local community which has resulted in a cross-pollination between all tenants including a gallery and the existing café next door.
