The original building on this city fringe corner block was demolished to make way for two attached dwellings. The client wanted the entire building to look like one entity, so the design solution was an apartment that overlooked the street frontage and a second that overlooked the park behind (featured here). Additionally, the brief was to create a house reminiscent of the client’s European childhood home. This was achieved by mortar smear on the exterior brick face and half round terracotta roof tiles.
The lower level of the park facing apartment features garaging, a cellar and stairs to the upper level.
The large open plan kitchen/dining/living/bar area is the core of this apartment. The main bedroom includes his and hers bathrooms and dressing rooms, the guest bedroom includes an en suite – and both bedrooms have private balconies. The upper level apartment also has a study, with private balcony, a powder room, Butler’s kitchen, separate laundry and a large patio/balcony.
