A custom timber lattice screen stands at the
end of the perimeter benchtop, softening the
connection between the metal and wood elements, notably the timber floors, table and the
spotted gum structural features. It also screens
kitchen clutter.
A central ceiling beam and furniture placement helps demarcate the living area from the
adjacent dining space.
The apartment has two double bedrooms,
and a smaller bedroom that doubles as a study.
All three are located down a short corridor that
the builder aligned with the windows. These
spaces also have raw brickwork, wood beams
and soaring ceilings.
“Units in this part of Brisbane have become
more sought after, but the size of the bedroom
and bathroom in the master suite were not in
keeping with current expectations,” Johnson
says. “In response, we took out the dividing
wall and merged the two rooms to make one
larger space – the sculptural freestanding tub
and vanity are now on show to the bedroom.
However, not everything is out in the open. You
turn left at the vanity and left again to access
the hidden toilet cubicle or veer right behind the
vanity wall to reach the shower.”
The understated interior complements the
rugged, semi-industrial shell. The brickwork
has touches of purple, as well as red, and the
darker colour is picked up in the kitchen’s stainless steel surfaces and again on the bedroom
accent walls and rugs. Floor-to-ceiling drapes
accentuate the height of the rooms and these
also have hints of grey.
Industrial-style glass pendants feature
above the kitchen island, the dining table and
in the bedrooms. These are hand blown, with no
two exactly the same.
“Being a corner apartment with five large
windows, the finished loft-space is light-filled
and welcoming,” says Johnson.
