Never expected our generic 60’s apartment building to be ‘Highly Commended’ in the Adaptive Reuse category at the National Trust 2021 Awards, for our conversion of a carpark void into a room with a view inserted over the ground floor carpark and between the Level 1 carpark and the street.
The 1960’s object building was then stitched into the streetscape as urban fabric. The deep beam required to transfer the load of the 14 new balconies above is then returned around to frame both the room and the view, widened to deepen the reveal and then carved into to create volume.
Thanks to The National Trust for recognising this generic building and congrats to the deserved winners in the category, Lahznimmo Architects and ASPECT Studios
