WARREN HAASNOOT WILL present high-street renewal through the lens of a commercial site in Dungog. This freestanding corner shop on Dungog’s high street received DA approval for extension and modification that proposes different modes of occupation, through a singular intervention (a new rear building) and a light-handed upgrade of the original building.
