sensitive Bondi Apartment

A much needed renovation of this penthouse apartment on Sydney’s iconic Bondi Beach Australia. Located on the top floor of an interwar Art Deco walk up flat, the refurb looked to both open the apartment to a generous rear north facing courtyard and modernise the existing interiors.

MCK architects based in Sydney, Australia have been incredibly sensitive to the original building with particular care taken internally and externally to retain protected features such as cornices and mouldings. Internally a joinery wall acts as furniture, separating public and private space and touching the existing fabric lightly to enhance the perception of space. Finishes and fixtures were chosen with the client’s specific brief in mind to create a weekend retreat to relax and unwind in and I think they nailed it !
