Project: Grand Apartment Living

This build involves original 1920s architecture which was painstakingly maintained, restored and replicated.

One of the biggest changes was the welcoming of natural light by opening up the out-dated floor plan to create more open plan living spaces. These structural works included the removal of the wall between the living room and the third bedroom to make way for a new dining room.

Noteworthy finishes include Sisal flooring, wall-to-wall custom joinery for additional living storage, custom TV cabinet and storage, a bathroom vanity, along with new wainscotting and a new shower screen.

Necessary electrical works, painting and decorating works were also conducted to complement the new finishes and bring cohesion throughout the apartment.

A new lease of life was given to this residence with a seamless cohesion between the new and existing construction.

Every home begins with a conversation. Your site, your brief, your budget. We'll tell you plainly what's possible.
