Partridge, in collaboration with Archer Office and Waverley Council, was involved in the revitalisation of The Boot Factory in Bondi Junction. The iconic 1892 heritage-listed building, once a shoe-making factory, has been standing vacant since 2007 after being saved from demolition by community efforts. The transformation into a civic innovation hub integrates the Mill Hill Community Centre via a new passageway with a lift, enhancing the Norman Lee Place courtyard, and new café at Spring Street. The vaulted roof is the showpiece, consisting of of 52 tapering glulam beams supported off a perimeter concrete ring beam at the base, with a steel ring beam above framing a 2.4m x 3.6m skylight. The Mill Hill Centre gains a new terrace roof, sliding doors, and landscaping improvements. A steel and timber deck has been designed to respect the root system of the adjacent tree.
