Little Projects is proud to unveil 38-44 Southern Road, a forthcoming precinct that promises to be something special. It comes at a time when the majority of industrial precincts still treat workplaces as simple industrial shells, delivering almost nothing in the way of warmth, identity or human experience — leading to endless rows of near-identical buildings that resemble concrete jungles more than working communities. Designed by one of Australia’s most respected architects — Ritz&Ghougassian — Southern Road will be far more than a collection of industrial units. Moving away from the standard ‘cookie-cutter’ approach, it represents a return to purity of vision and a reimagining of how boutique industrial spaces should feel and function. What does this mean for the future occupants of Southern Road, Mentone? It means a place for work or storage that transcends the conventional industrial shell. It means architecture that prioritises natural light and leverages the natural slope of the site — creating stepped levels which provide distinct identities for the units and a sense of play for the precinct. The result is a collection of spaces that are youthful, robust and design-led, without alienating businesses that need functionality first. Southern Road is designed for a new generation of makers, creatives, innovators and family-owned businesses. Whether they be start-ups, scale-ups or established operators needing workshops or warehouse–office integration, this place creates a sense of community and pride of ownership often missing in industrial estates. This will be an opportunity to secure a design-led property that supports your craft and communicates who you are. Register your interest for news and updates about Southern Road, Mentone.
