Apartment Building EXTENSION - ADD 8 FLOORS

Job ID: 39153100

Budget: $2 – $8 AUD

I'm seeking a professional Architect/Interior designer to step forward into creativity.
The challenge will be to create charm and beauty over the top of existing building, sandstone with a nod towards heritage.

1. Update facade of existing building - the building is within a heritage area with old sandstone houses and boutique apartment blocks.
2. I envision using sawn sandstone on the front facade overlooking High Street, the balance of original building will be rendered.
3. At the front of building adjacent to the garage entry, convert garden into hotel lobby. Open door to apartment lift via a new hallway through the garage. This is accessible with no stairs. Additionally add step that go to front entrance via portico
4. Upgrade portico above entrance door with sandstone columns and pavers and glass roof
5. Parking 1 &2 will become a small gym, sauna room and lockable storage.
6. Across the full length of front facade of level 1,2, & 3 add covered balcony 1.5m deep with arched columns across and sides. Fully enclosed with double glazed aluminium window into all level l 1,2,3 balcony then finish off with a delicate heritage floral designed security screens )
7. All 3 bedrooms will have balcony access via large double glazed sliding doors
8. Give entrance and stairwell a nice clean hotel style upgrade
