This crew of builders are lucky enough to have recently set up camp in one of those beautiful 1930s duplex buildings in Murray Cres, Griffith. They've done a beautiful job fitting out the old spaces bringing the building back to it's raw bones.

The guys at Milin were a pleasure to collaborate with. They knew what they were after - old timbers in their raw natural form to accompany the use of glass and steel in the rest of the fitout - so we got to work.

Carefully picking the most rustic boards, packed with patina, we made a Ledge and Brace door to slide across the entrance to their conference room and timber stair treads and landings for the staircase. Doesn't the timber look great in this raw ground and brushed state!
