These former grain silos have been converted into apartments, in the inner city suburb of Newtown. They are part of the former Crago Flour Mills, a former industrial estate beside the railway lines, which has had its factory buildings and silos reused in a new residential estate.
Interesting architecture indeed. Reminded me though of a Brave New World.

I love the idea that important historical industrial buildings can be salvaged and renovated, instead of destroying them.
