Transforming a Sydney Icon: Potts Point Apartment Building Interior Design
Revitalising a Sydney Icon
Located on Macleay Street, Potts Point, this historic apartment building boasts a rich history, having once been home to the Sheraton Motor Inn and a temporary residence for the Beatles during their 1964 Sydney visit. Our team at Andrew Loader Design was tasked with transforming the drab, beige-dominated hallways and elevator lobbies into vibrant, inspiring spaces that pay homage to the building’s heritage.
A 1960s-Inspired Design Revival
To revitalize the interior, our designers drew inspiration from the 1960s, incorporating popular design elements of the era, reimagined for modern times:
-
Elevator Lobbies: Clad in 1960s-inspired timber panelling, painted in a soft black hue, creating a dramatic impact.
-
Hallways: Customised, boldly patterned carpet with a black border, complemented by warm grey walls and dark charcoal apartment doors.
-
Mirror and Chrome Accents: Large expanses of dark mirror, offset by light-reflecting chrome framing, create a sense of heightened space.
Heritage-Inspired Signage and Apartment Numbering
Our designers carefully selected a popular 1960s-era font and created oversized, vertical metallic numbers in matt black for the apartment doors, adding a touch of nostalgia and sophistication.
From Beige to Bold: A Transformation that Honours Heritage
The result is a vibrant, uplifting space that celebrates the building’s rich history and heritage. If you’re seeking a Sydney interior designer who can transform your commercial or apartment building interior, contact Andrew Loader Design today.
