Upgrade Feasibility Project

BTB Architecture Studio partnered with Buildcorp Asset Solutions to provide a proposal for ‘Building Betterment’ for a 1950’s apartment building sited on the Sydney Harbour foreshore in Kirribilli. The proposal considered the following:

  • The addition of balconies to apartments. Despite the harbourside location, the existing apartments do not have balconies. The proposal explored options for the sensitive addition of balconies onto the building façade.
  • Replacement doors and windows for improved ventilation, thermal performance and connection between apartment interiors and added balconies.
  • Façade renovation and stabilisation.
  • Common landscaped rooftop entertainment terrace, enjoying 180 degree views of the harbour, City, Opera House and Bridge.
  • Repurposing of an existing rooftop pavilion room as a common space.
  • Construction of car-stacking facilities to overcome a shortfall in on-site parking and street parking.
