While the previous owners had combined two adjoining apartments into a 180m2 floorpan, the room proportions and layout did not match the grander scale, or capitalise on sweeping views from its Level 34 location.
In its reconfiguration, internal partitioning was dismantled, ceilings raised (where possible) and a new interior landscape carved into the shell, divided into three principal zones — living, main bedroom and guest suite – radiating from the central services core. The two original apartment entries are used to accommodate a future dual-key arrangement.
Principal rooms are allocated according to natural light: the main bedroom facing east for moving sun, the kitchen/living spaces facing north for all-day light and connection to the dual balconies, and guest room and study aligned west, buffering much of the intense afternoon sun.
A layering of material textures and tones subtly shifts from zone to zone, offering a calm, comforting backdrop to the expansive harbour views. Seidler’s radial geometry is referenced in some of the new details: the curved Spotted gum joinery units, or the ceilings that fold gently downwards to form pelmets along the windowline, echoing the rolling roofline of Seidler’s acclaimed Berman House.
