First of all Wow! What an impressive overview.

"Building in the historical locales of cities imposes severe restrictions upon architects, but many have responded creatively to the challenge by adapting older properties to late 20th-century expectations. A popular solution for many householders is to leave intact the outer brick shells of their recently acquired factories and houses, and to remodel the interiors.

A striking example of this trend is Bob Nation's warehouse conversion whose interior was gutted in order to create an industrial-style apartment in Melbourne's Fitzroy."

I was particularly interested in this section as it's basically where my interests are. I looked up Warehouse conversions on google and came up with this link. It may be of interest. It's about Woodhead International, one of Australia’s leading architecture and design firms.
