Manhattan-Style Magic, An Architect Redesigned Inner City Sanctuary In The Landmark Belgenny

One of Australia’ hottest young designers, Alana Cooke, has weaved her magic in this inner-city flat and transformed the space into a stylish urban sanctuary with the buzz of downtown Sydney at the doorstep. A rare opportunity to buy in the landmark Belgenny, a Manhattan-style Art Deco block reminiscent of a New York brownstone, the second floor apartment has been recreated from a shell to create an urban sanctuary overlooking Taylor Square. A streamlined minimalist approach features extensive custom joinery in solid Tasmanian Oak with finishes in terrazzo, brushed brass and linen for a unified feel and textural quality. Every detail has been custom crafted and hand selected from the built-in furniture and extensive storage to the fabrics from Mokum and lighting by Pop & Scott to create a home that is not only beautiful but functional and will stand the test of time. Facing east with huge windows bringing in the light, this stylish pied-a-terre is in the city’s pulsing heart city with cafes, restaurants and bakeries at the doorstep and Woolworths Metro just down the street.
