PROJECT SHOWCASE | Harry The Hirer, Melbourne
::::::::: A Melbourne industrial icon reimagined for a new era.
Harry The Hirer’s headquarters is located within Melbourne’s historic Cotton Mills – a landmark with more than a century of industrial history. The redevelopment transforms the heritage building into a contemporary workplace while retaining the character of its original mill architecture.
::::::::: Arrow Metal manufactured two distinct perforated metal solutions for the project – P244 perforated panels for the feature staircase balustrades and a custom round-ended slot pattern for the lift shaft, finished in Harry The Hirer’s signature blue.
Set within the dramatic new four-level central void, the perforated metal complements the building’s industrial character while bringing lightness, transparency and a distinctly contemporary edge to the interior.
::::::::: The project was recognised with the Popular Choice Award – Commercial Interiors at the 2026 Architizer A+Awards.
