The Foundry
Architects Ink
SYC is a non-for-profit organisation that relocated their mission facilities to new premises, south of the city. The Foundry provides specialised assistance to disadvantaged, homeless and disengaged youth.
Architects Ink provided a new environment to facilitate services to youth in a welcoming, ‘non-corporate’, fun, accepting and secure fashion.
The building was an empty brick warehouse shell with high level windows and exposed steel trusses. Original items remain exposed yet new connections to the existing structure were minimised emphasising connection to natural light in all areas but not compromising the warehouse volume.
Honest materials rich in texture, durability and colour were selected, creating calm yet engaging spaces for clientele. A display of warmth, simplicity and durability.
Youth were involved in all stages from design to construction including the themed works of well-known young Adelaide artists
The Foundry provides a ‘safe place for immediate connection’ for Youth in a non-traditional environment.
