Comments (63)I emailed strata and was advised to notify my nearby neighbors about the resurfacing coz there’s a bit of sound. No approval required. Btw you do need to conduct an asbetos test before the team can commence work. The company recommended a lab in Brisbane that you send the samples in double zip lock bags, express post. Took 24-48hrs for lab to send me the report in pdf. I then forwarded that to Ceiling Resurfacing so they know which technique they’ll gonna do....See MoreHow do I improve the kerb appeal of this apartment block?
Comments (17)I really like this building, and I love the railing... I would not change the railing. Is the railing the same thing as balustrade? (sorry I am not familiar with that term.... if it is, I think that I agree that I would do my best to maintain the character of it when I am trying to meet building code requirements). I think that it is reflective of the period that this house was built. I think that some nice landscaping of the property would add to its street appeal. I would love some hedging, and perhaps some flowers. I would remove the white railings that are next to the parking area (I am not speaking about the staircase railing, which I like.) The railings that are next to parking area, and entry into parking area are not very appealing... some hedges here would definitely add to the appeal. I would also remove all of the straggly looking plants and opt for something slightly more formal. The parking garage next to the building is unattractive. I think that this is much less appealing than the apartment building itself. The area definitely needs to be paved and I would explore the costs of improving this area. I think that while people like car spaces, this whole area detracts from the apartment complex which is actually quite nice. Also, is the paved area that is outside the stairs for visitor parking? I think that could be improved as well. If you do not need visitor parking, I would put a grass area here, and possibly a gate or formal hedging at the boundary of the property. I might even add something for tenants to use. Perhaps a bench or picnic table. I am not certain what the horizontal bar is that is between the windows on the upper floor. Can you have something more decorative there? (perhaps the street name 32 Hill Street (or whatever the street number is) ... written out in a decorative font that is in keeping with the time period of the building. I have seen this on some buildings in Sydney, and it actually looks nice. I think that I might change the red color on the end of the stairs. Is the seemingly paved area outside of the stairs a parking area? In one of the pictures I see a set of blue curtains in the upper window. I would replace this with something like a roman blind, so that all window treatments are the same. (I think that it has more appeal from the outside.) Good Luck!...See MoreExplosion of apartment approvals.
Comments (26)Apartment building and condensed living is problematic for so many reasons. One I experienced recently was attending an outdoor gig in a gentrified, high density living suburb in Sydney and the music was so soft I was meters from the stage could have a normal conversation. So many residence had complained because of the noise travelling and being trapped in the area because of the buildings, there were such strict noise restrictions. So frustrating....See MoreSpace saving ideas from studio apartment
Comments (8)Thanks Uyenvy Le, this is a rental so we weren't given dimensions, but I did manage to find a floor plan on their rental website. The way they have suggested layout doesn't allow much storage at all! Thanks bigreader, yeah I hav a heap of clothes to give away or sell on gumtree, it's the big furniture items that we have to be careful with selection. I'm not sure if a three seater is a good suggestion like what they indicated below....See MoreBC Magic Wallpaper
