Striking design of The Gallery from award winning Cox architects, featuring a stunning central atrium, is home to this opulent two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in the heart of Braddon. Near the vibrant Lonsdale Street, the home is seated within ever evolving and dynamic culture. An easy stroll to the CBD and heritage parks, maximise the appeal of this central locale. The considered interiors, with their opulent detailing and moody accents, deliver a sophisticated living experience.

Tinted glazing and metallic screens characterise the façade, imbedding the building within the industrial history of Braddon. The workable screens shelter and shade the building and the independent businesses that occupy the street below. Close to, yet apart from, the hustle and bustle of Lonsdale Street, Mort Street is host to its own variety of vibrant eateries.

A living, breathing micro-climate, with lush plantings and soaring voids, opens to blue sky, drawing in sunlight. This wonderful urban forest acts as the lungs of the building, and provides natural cross ventilation, leafy ambience all year round. Timber and raw concrete add to the industrial loft feel of the building's interior and striking contrast.

Large format ceramic tiling, a bright white palette, dark cabinetry and black aluminium doors create a mood of daring contemporary and sophistication. Enhanced by the black Caesarstone and waterfall kitchen benches that are artfully combined with black hardware. The open plan kitchen, dining, living, opens to a deep veranda, providing seamless indoor/outdoor flow, light and aspect. Minimalist in its appeal, the kitchen fit with high quality Asko appliances, is perfect for entertaining and taking in the impressive urban views.

Two generous bedrooms and two bathrooms complete the private, sleeping zones. Both bathrooms are luxuriously appointed and feature spacious walk-in showers. The master has a generous walk-through-robe and large windows overlooking the terrace, gracing the room with light.
