This 1920s block of 4 apartments is one of a series of blocks built at the same time and to the same layout, earning it a heritage listing. The front elevation was a heritage listed façade. It was brought up-to-date with the application of a new colour scheme and landscaping that was sensitive to this past as well as in keeping with the neighbours.
The rear of the property was outdated and underutilised, consisting of a small sunroom, shared laundries and a disused WC. These were removed and rationalised into bedrooms with ensuites and outdoor spaces for each apartment. By increasing the volume of the building, the building did not need to be extended outwards.
Front and back elevations of the building speak to their respective times. The 1920s in the UK saw a popularisation of mock tudor decoration to building facades. It shows the close historical ties between the UK and Australia. Our contemporary composition on the other hand articulates our love of outdoor spaces, considered aspect, and design for thermal comfort.
