This stunning and creative north facing South Yarra warehouse conversion is a living piece of architecture - designed by an architect/artist team- James Brearley in collaboration with Stephen Bram. This beautiful residence with soaring ceilings on the upper level giving a sense of luxury and spaciousness. The back wall is a full glass curtain feature with powdered metal framing adding to the spacious and open feel. Exposed Metal Support beams hint at the industrial heritage of this warehouse space. This is a cleverly crafted work of art, whilst functioning as a fabulous cosy home.
