7 YOU COULD BE ONE IN A MILL6 THE FLOUR MILL OF SUMMER HILL

In the heart of Summer Hill lies a unique place. The five-hectare industrial site of

the Flour Mill has towered over the suburb’s leafy streets for almost 100 years, and is now being transformed into a beautifully planned place to live, work and play.

The Flour Mill’s remarkable heritage and form has been retained, refined and adapted so that its residents will be able to choose from a variety of apartments to suit every stage of life. Brand new buildings stand alongside the historic silo structures, which have been repurposed to house unique residences.

There are cafés, retail spaces, and landscaped areas with pedestrian links to the light rail network.

The vibrant, creative village atmosphere of this new neighbourhood fits right in with the existing, exceptional community spirit of Summer Hill.

THE VIBRANT, CREATIVE VILLAGE ATMOSPHERE OF THIS NEW NEIGHBOURHOOD FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE EXISTING, EXCEPTIONAL COMMUNITY SPIRIT OF SUMMER HILL.

9 YOU COULD BE ONE IN A MILL

The Flour Mill arrived in Summer Hill in 1922: a cluster of functional milling and

storage buildings, built by Mungo Scott to process wheat from across New South Wales into flour for toast on the breakfast tables of the ever-growing city of Sydney.

The landmark silos appeared in the 1950s, as Goodman Fielder grew the Mill’s capacity; followed by Allied Mills, who continued to supply the key ingredient for many of Australia’s favourite loaves – until operations were wound up in 2009.

The experienced team at EG recognised the unique opportunity that this well loved, workhorse of a site provided – and knew they could create a truly special residential community and bespoke retail spaces. The design process included wide-ranging community consultation; ensuring their vision completely complemented the character of lovely Summer Hill surrounding the site, and yet still respected the essential history there.

And so the Flour Mill of Summer Hill has emerged, revitalising this beloved monument to the city’s rich industrial heritage.

THE FLOUR MILL AT SUMMER HILL HAS EMERGED, REVITALISING THIS BELOVED MONUMENT TO THE CITY’S RICH INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE.

The master plan, so carefully developed by HASSELL, focuses on repurposing

as much of the industrial fabric of the site as possible – with an environmentally and socially sustainable outcome.

It is a blueprint where parkland, pedestrian areas and new internal streets seamlessly connect the apartments and terrace homes – also designed by HASSELL – with their wider environment. The past is not erased, but rather becomes the foundation for a new, dynamic and contemporary neighbourhood.

The Flour Mill’s striking silo buildings have long been a beloved feature of the skyline, essential to the personality of the area. Everyone can participate in this latest adaptation of the storehouses, strolling through open walkways from the high street village atmosphere of Summer Hill through to the Flour Mill’s parklands, past new cafés and shops, to the light rail stop at Lewisham West.

THE MASTER PLAN FOCUSES ON REPURPOSING AS MUCH OF THE INDUSTRIAL FABRIC OF THE SITE AS POSSIBLE – WITH AN ENVIRONMENTALLY AND SOCIALLY SUSTAINABLE OUTCOME.

13 YOU COULD BE ONE IN A MILL12 THE FLOUR MILL OF SUMMER HILL

Located just seven kilometres from Sydney’s CBD, the Flour Mill of Summer

Hill offers a great opportunity to find your niche in the Inner West. It’s a favourite part of town for so many reasons: for some it’s the bohemian buzz, or the great schools; for others, it’s because of the village feel yet with easy access to the city.

The site’s location alongside Hawthorne Canal is a peaceful setting. A new cycle path is planned for the canal’s greenway, from Iron Cove in the north, and way south alongside the Cooks River. Within comfortable walking distances are surrounding suburbs: places such as Petersham, Haberfield and Leichhardt – rich in cultural diversity, and each brimming with its own charisma.

The Flour Mill is all about great living, open space and

connectivity. Through inspired planning,

the Flour Mill offers a wide range of alternatives – so the dream of living in Summer Hill becomes a reality. Each option, whether a contemporary three bedroom apartment or a silo penthouse with rooftop terrace, is completely unique in this district.

Almost three hectares in total: a significant part of the site is designated private outdoor gardens dedicated for residents. By opening it up, and creating public pedestrian connections to and through the neighbourhood, access is improved for the whole community; and the soul of Summer Hill pours into the site.

Beautiful, open landscaped spaces are furnished with a canopy of mature trees, maintaining dappled shade to provide natural gathering points and spots for relaxing with friends and family.

I LOVE THE DIVERSITY OF THE MASTER PLAN. THIS IS QUITE UNIQUE, TAKING THE CHARACTER OF THE INDUSTRIAL SITE AND MAKING NEW HOMES OF DIFFERENT TYPES AND SCALE, IN A BEAUTIFUL NEIGHBOURHOOD ENVIRONMENT.Matthew Pullinger, Architect

F L O U R This is a place where it’s easy for people to get together. The sense of space, the light

rail, the connections back through the Flour Mill to Summer Hill’s village heart in Lackey Street. You’re at the centre of a pedestrian network with child-friendly play zones, and lovely settings (whether at a café or on a park bench) to catch up with friends.

The Flour Mill will generate its own vibrant character, centred on the open plaza next to the Mungo Scott heritage building: an echo of the wider, local community.

A development with its own station: that’s special.

Lewisham West is a new light rail stop on the McGill Street edge of the site. The light rail extension gives residents direct, comfortable access to Leichhardt, Glebe, Pyrmont and Sydney’s CBD (or Dulwich Hill when travelling south).

The light rail stop, along with the original Mungo Scott Mill building, will find itself a community hub for the neighbourhood, with a new café planned – a place to grab a coffee on the way to work, meet friends or pick up fresh produce for supper. Or within gentle walking distance, find the delightful areas of Lackey Street and Smith Street.

Or there’s the rest: Summer Hill train station (Inner West line) is only metres away, or you can stroll up to Lewisham station. There are regular buses through Old Canterbury Road and nearby Parramatta Road taking passengers to the CBD, via hospital and university campuses, and also out west to the metropolis’ geographical heart. The Flour Mill enjoys easy road access to the rest of Sydney, with close proximity to major thoroughfares.M I L L

Summer Hill: one of the Inner West’s best-kept secrets.

It has unique charm and character: creative energy and diversity ripple through its leafy streets. It’s a friendly suburb, with its own special history; with many heritage-listed Federation homes.

A path takes you straight from the Flour Mill to its heart – from the light rail, past bustling cafés and studios, through to Smith Street and direct to the best of Inner West living.

A major attraction for families is the excellent choice of schools in the area.

The Malthouse cleverly connects the old with the new and the inside with the out.

The exterior of the Mill’s Malthouse celebrates the building’s industrial heritage – with angular rooflines imitating those of traditional Sydney cottages atop natural brick referencing the nearby Mungo Scott building – and its industrious future.

The intricately patterned brickwork, decorative metal screening and inviting colours engage residents and visitors alike.

A 20-metre high void illuminates the lobby with natural light. This bright welcome is carried through to each of the 98 balcony apartments – a mix of one, two and three bedrooms – which offer clear views either over the light rail corridor towards the city or the nearby parklands.

The old Flour Mill has played an important part in Summer Hill’s story. But it’s time for

a new chapter. By regenerating the site, we’re giving it

a new life. The ‘set’ will be updated but still familiar: the buildings are still where Mungo Scott originally positioned them, however they now offer a fresh take on the industrial look of the old functioning mill. Each building has its own personality and character, but they blend together to create a vibrant neighbourhood.

We’re giving the Flour Mill the opportunity to live on and set the scene for new memories. It’s time for a new generation to breathe life into this desirable Inner West neighbourhood.

32 THE FLOUR MILL OF SUMMER HILL

How exciting it would be to make your new home within the iconic walls of the

wheat silos. The four circular towers house 56 apartments, a mixture of two and three bedroom as well as one bedroom with study. The exterior’s curved walls are echoed within, adding an extra layer of interest to the contemporary interiors. At the peak of the 14 storey silos sit two penthouse apartments with roof terraces enjoying spectacular 360 degree views.

The lobby celebrates the silos nostalgia by highlighting the beauty and strength of the original structure.

THE DURUM SILOS

The Wheatstore conceals 27 light and bright two and three bedroom

apartments. The contrast of this unique triangular structure complements the historical aesthetic of the adjoining Durum Silos.

Floor-to-ceiling windows strategically placed to create rhythm and interest punctuate the dark charcoal façade.

THE WHEATSTORE

The Granary pays homage to the original buildings on site by mimicking their scale

and profile. The southern four storeys represent the workshop which was simply clad in corrugated iron sheeting, and the northern nine storeys reflect the adjoining timber silo. The two are now joined by a continuous textured skin that reveals the interior through layers of decorative perforated mesh and horizontal louvres. The Granary offers choices of one and two bedroom apartments.

The beautiful timber floors add natural warmth and will complement

your furnishings when you make this home your own.

The apartments have been cleverly designed to bring the outside in – an essential for apartment-style living. The architects have created opportunities for each abode to enjoy the gift of natural light, and to maximise airflow.

Balconies and windows have been carefully placed to provide an interesting outlook from every aspect – from the Flour Mill’s landscaped gardens and heritage architecture and city skyline.

A DISTINCTIVE MONOCHROMATIC COLOUR SCHEME, ACCENTED BY YOUR CHOICE OF BLACK OR WHITE, HARKS BACK TO THE INDUSTRIAL ORIGINS OF THE SITE.
