The clients were searching for the true inner city warehouse apartment. The notion was to enhance the already strong character of the heritage listed building and accent its many positive attributes such as the abundance of natural light, beautiful cedar timber beams and columns as well as the large open spaces created by the saw-tooth roof. The challenge was to also create a sense of seclusion and a relaxing ‘getaway’ for the couple with more intimate spaces for the ensuite and master bedroom. To make best use of the space many aspects of the existing floor plan were re-modelled: The awkward shape of the internal terrace was re-worked and the old master bedroom was converted into an office space allowing the master bedroom, ensuite and walk in robe to be larger creating a better flow from public to private spaces. Splashes of vivid yellow are flickered throughout the black and white colour scheme to create that spark which is reminiscent of the client’s bright personalities. The once dark and narrow entry is transformed into a gallery space for the client’s both large and small artworks and artefacts.
