Breathe Architecture for Paramount House Hotel
80 Commonwealth Street
Surry Hills, New South Wales
Paramount House Hotel rises out of the 80 year old warehouse that occupies the site. A copper, chevron screen crowns its brick shell and converses with the neighbouring art deco buildings of this former film precinct. The project explores the narrative between artefact and ornament, of place and of home.
