Government offices, Brits

A 1965 cool drink factory, designed by Aziz Tayob as a student, converted sixty years on into A-grade government offices.

Where it started

In 1965, while still an architecture student, Aziz Tayob designed the Jolly Jack cool drink factory in Brits, the town where he grew up.

A second life

In 2014, for property owner ATProp, the practice converted the old factory into A-grade office space for the national Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment.

Still looking after it

In 2026 the precinct around the building is being repaved and upgraded, and Aziz still inspects the work on site, more than sixty years after he first drew the building.
