In 2007, work began on the conversion of the building into the Flourmill Studios, commercial strata-titled suites.
Flourmill Studios is approached from Gladstone Street via a paved and landscaped courtyard. Topped by a framework of original steel columns and beams, the courtyard is overlooked by 'Juliet' balconies adapted from the mill's early loading bays.
The entrance foyer features heavy original timber columns and beams and incorporate the building's restored original goods lift.
The building contains 47 individual studios ranging in size from 25 to over 250 square metres. Some studios feature warehouse style timber columns and beams, original timber loading bay doors, historic sliding fire doors and the remnants of the drive shafts and wheels that once powered the mill.
