Arbutus Street
7a Arbutus Street, Mosman
Existing was a four-storey 1930's walk-up apartment block of five two-bed apartments with commanding views over Balmoral Beach. The scale of the building and the views would not be attained under current planning law if the building was demolished.
The structural and design challenge was to retain the shell of the building, reconfigure the five apartments into three luxury apartments with underground parking and a central lift. Provide a modern form that addressed the street and responded to the position and location.
