windsor apartments

2 victorian shops on chapel st windsor were substantially renovated and extended to include 2 upper level apartments accessed from the rear lane.

the apartments retained the old timber ceilings of the original building in the front bedrooms, with the rest taking on a warehouse feel, allowing abundant southern light through the sawtooth roof. Exposed original brickwork and recycled timber ceilings give character to the simple spaces, with a very large open living space which could also function as offices or studios.

the large rear decks face onto the lane, where the building presents a simple industrial face, ready to withstand the inevitable graffiti and abuse.
