Lavender Bay Boatshed

Lavender Bay Boatshed, a three storey apartment in the renovation of an historic timber building on Sydney harbour. The design explores space, solid and void, pulling and stretching and piercing. The expansive and public meets the private and contained all tied together with skylights and shafts that frame "that" view and draw in the light. By Stephen Collier Architects.

Wow. I was in love until I got to the pictures of the bathroom. Seems odd to put such overpowering tile around that extraordinary tub. I would have let it shine on its own but each to their own I guess.

I do agree with Coco...

I agree also. Love the kitchen however - one of the nicest I have yet seen.

Way too many gimmicky design choices going on here for my taste. That bathroom is going to get very old very fast.

all I could think of-was how hard it would be to heat that bathroom...you'd freeze in that bath with that huge open ceiling over it. I know the architects were probably under fairly strict heritage constraints when they designed this space-but I've seen nicer!

I don't comment so much, but I actually loved the tiles in the bath. Way to get some interesting colours in but keep the light, white feel

I find it all very bland , almost office like , ( except for the bathrooms which don't deserve further comment ) , a real missed opportunity here . Looks promising from the outside but is a real letdown on the inside . The location is fabulous however and speaks for itself .
