This project involved a full refurbishment of an existing art-deco apartment in Sydney's Bellevue Hill. Artisanal finishes and fixtures were carefully selected to enhance the character of the original apartment. Microcement and handmade tiles were used in the bathrooms, providing soft, natural textures throughout.
The scope of work included a new kitchen, a bathroom en suite, a home office with surfboard storage, and updated lighting. The owners plan to live in the apartment long-term, as they have come to appreciate both the home and its surroundings, with views across Rose Bay, and the building is enveloped by established gardens.
Influences for the project included the unique character of the original building, and the enjoyable conversations with the clients, which revealed their passion for art and design.
We are Sandbox Studio, a co-creative Architecture studio based in Sydney & Canberra.
So what's a co-creative architecture studio – another buzzword?
Not really, ‘cause we take you - the client - seriously... we respect your design aesthetic, your tastes, your desires! We invite you to co-design with us. Don't worry, we do all the hard work, but we sit with you over a coffee and get your imagination going. We engage you in conversations and exercises (our trade secret) which help reveal to you and us what you really want. We know it's our job to come up with ideas and concepts and do all the architectural work, but we think it's also our job to discover what's in the back of your mind and empower your creativity. The result of such a collaborative process is something really special!
Sandbox Studio is an A+ member of the Australian Institute of Architects.
