The project
Sandbox Studio refurbished this apartment in Bellevue Hill, retaining a relationship with the character of its art deco building. The work brings a new kitchen, an en suite bathroom, an updated main bathroom and a home office into the existing footprint.
Replanning the bathrooms meant working around existing masonry walls and windows. Microcement, handmade tiles and carefully selected fixtures give the new rooms a softer material palette. The home office also incorporates surfboard storage. Luke Carter led the design.
