Brooklyn Apartment

The sixth floor apartment of Brooklyn Flats; a 1930s neo-Georgian building with an art deco flare, is a category 2 heritage listing, which added a little extra challenge for the Absolute Construct team, when renovating Ben Lloyd (of Lloyd Hartley Architects)’s apartment.

The renovation of the historic apartment required careful gutting of a large portion of the walls, in order to place necessary wiring and broadband into the previously electrically challenged apartment. Everything was then mindfully put back into place, requiring conscious effort to keep the picture rails and original mouldings intact and pristine.

A stunning French Oak parquet floor was put in place, that transformed the space, without undermining the beautiful 30s architecture.

The wall that previously cut up the living area and hid the light from the hallway, was demolished, allowing for the cramped kitchen to become a more feasible size and let the light leak into the further corners of the apartment, allowing for a more flowing and generous home.
