Back when #NondaKatsalidis was doing exciting stuff – his #RichmondSilo project at 22 Abinger Street in 1996 was the first time someone had done a conversion of a disused #silo (though actually the front half is new) – it was the talk of the town, I remember it was rumoured that Kylie Minogue had a flat there.
Described by critic and academic #PhillipGoad as a ‘brutish totemic tower of inner city living’, this is the guest time I’ve actually got up close. Love the way it looks over everything, with that ship-like #prow !
Interesting to see that as well as the 1880s Malthouses and the actual 1930s silos, the Katsalidis work is part of the City of Yarra heritage listing now.
