Avalon Beach Apartment is a complete renovation to a tired, original 1970s two bedroom apartment located in the relaxed, picturesque Northern Beaches of Sydney. Architecturally designed by Studio Benicio, this modern renovation at Avalon Beach was completed by AE Cockle Building Contractors. The brief was simple; provide a more functional apartment to better suit a professional couple - their beloved bulldog.

Avalon海滩公寓是一个完整的翻新，一个疲劳，最初的20世纪70年代两居室的公寓位于放松，风景如画的北部海滩的悉尼。由Benicio工作室设计的建筑，Avalon海滩的现代改造由AECockle建筑承包商完成。这个简单的简单；提供一个更实用的公寓，以更好地适合一对专业夫妇。

From the architect: The clients wanted a polished concrete floor, but when we actually removed the old floating timber floor it became apparent that the concrete wasn’t in a good enough state polish. We had to think outside the box to find a product that looked like concrete, was low maintenance - easy to install. We finally settled on raw fibre cement and it looks amazing, its the first thing everyone comments on.

来自建筑师：客户想要一个抛光的混凝土地板，但当我们实际拆除旧的浮动木地板时，很明显，混凝土的抛光效果还不够好。我们不得不跳出盒子去寻找一种看起来像混凝土的产品，这是一种低维护性的产品。

A lot of apartments within this block have been renovated of late, but we believe our project stands out - is unique due to the attention to detail: – the flooring; instead of doing a floating timber floor, we spent time trying to find something that has a great aesthetic, is maintenance free - is completely different to the norm. – dropped ceilings; we find that most people underestimate the impact of a dropped ceiling - instead use a bulkhead to cover up whatever it may be coming into the space from above. With this project we dropped the entire ceiling over the kitchen due to the beam that was needed to replace the structural wall. To emphasize the dropped ceiling, we painted it black - it sets the tone for the rest of the apartment. We also continued this theme into the bathroom where we had plumbing from the apartment above coming into our space, we dropped the entire ceiling and even went to the extent of providing a curved upturn of this ceiling for the bathroom door to swing past. – colour: instead of doing everything white, we had fun playing with the black - white theme, we then through some vibrant colour into the mix for that pop of fun!

这座大楼内的许多公寓最近都进行了翻修，但我们相信我们的项目很突出。
