The Japanese call it wabi-sabi, an imperfection. Architect Oliver Du Puy has perfected a touch of sensibility in an apartment that destroyed at Surry Hills who was trendy in Sydney.
“There is a beauty in imperfections that create a sense of eternity,” said Du Puy, showing several final results, such as micro cement, on the walls of two bedroom bearings. After working in Japan, Du Puy admitted his view was formed by Architect Kazuo Shinohara, who stated ‘a house is a work of art’.

Located in all 220 square meters, this residence is under Doga’s apartment that won the award, a winding structure wrapped in aluminum tiles designed by Durbach Block Jaggers and completed in 1997 which is now considered a landmark on the hood.
Du Puy’s footprints, occupy the building of the early 20th century below, far more recessive, with steel-framed windows arranged into brown bricks. “The building itself has a colorful history, including being used as squatting for several years and, from what I say, this apartment is a view to a number of rave parties,” said Du Puy.

Fake ceiling hid Chunky concrete beams and 700 millimeter wide concrete columns, masked in plaster, which is considered as the work of the leading civilian engineer Sir John Monash, found in renovations.
“I am always interested in pure elements in space,” said Du Puy, wanting to express the structure rather than adding excessive details. Therefore, the original 100 -year -old jarrah floor is only rubbed and the structure, columns and beams are cleaned and graffiti is removed.
The kitchen is secretly located on one side of the dining room open and the living room, with the Calacatta Marble Island bench is positioned between two degrees columns. The steel carpenter bank is rust resistant, including splashback, then allows the interior structure to be expressed-hiding everything from the refrigerator and kitchen to the wine refrigerator.
