Green weeds push through cracked concrete, reclaiming an abandoned industrial floor at the Sundell Holden site. Nature slowly reclaims the derelict architecture, a silent process of decay and renewal.

Dry grass pushes through cracked bitumen in a deserted car yard. Small green tufts sit low against the dark asphalt, while taller dead stems lean and bend in no particular direction. Behind them, a corrugated iron wall carries layers of graffiti in blue, black, pink, and red. Paint drips down the metal ridges. The ground is gritty, unswept.

The series
Sundell Holden
Sundell Holden was the Chatswood East workshop and showroom of Sundell Motors Pty Ltd, on the corner of Smith and Gibbes Streets. Sundell Motors Chatswood Pty Ltd was registered with ASIC on 5 January 1967, and the company ran a Sydney North Shore Holden dealer network with sites at Chatswood, Top Ryde, West Ryde, Drummoyne, and Pittwater. The original Pacific Highway showroom, where a 1962 EJ Holden was sold new to Mr Alan Hamilton, was demolished in 1987 for the Zenith Centre. The Smith Street site continued as the network's main workshop. Four related Sundell entities consolidated into a single SUNDELL MOTORS PTY LTD on 3 September 2018, and operations wound down with the broader Holden franchise closure following Holden's national withdrawal in 2020. The Smith Street building stood empty for several years before being demolished for the Woolworths Chatswood East supermarket, which opened on the site in November 2022.
