THE DESIGN BRIEF WAS A ONE-LINE REQUEST – TO CREATE A MODERN, BRUTALIST ‘CONCRETE BUNKER’.

The Perfect Storm apartment involved a complex series of custom build processes and bespoke fabricated elements, resulting in a one of a kind, loft-style apartment. The build works carried out included the complete gutting and renovation of an existing ground-floor apartment, including the following;

• Demolition of existing kitchen and removal of all existing fixtures, fittings & joinery to the bathroom and the stripping back to the stud of the upstairs mezzanine level
• Custom fabrication and installation of ‘invisible’ curved plaster cornice to double-height ceiling designed to give a seamless transition between walls & ceiling.
• Creation of ‘hidden’ storage units throughout including the restructuring of the staircase to accommodate under-stair storage, concealed behind joinery
• A unique application of a concrete-style render (X-Bond) finish to bathroom and laundry
• Custom fabrication and install of dual-cantilevered concrete tv unit, a dimmable ‘neon-look’, double string, LED ‘Halo’ light
• Design & construction of steel shower screen featuring ‘arched’ doorway and concealed magnet handle.
• Custom fabrication and install of a dimmable ‘neon-look’, double string LED ‘Halo’ light and the design & construction of steel shower screen featuring ‘arched’ doorway with concealed magnet handle.
• Design, construction and install of cedar battened screen to the courtyard.
