SWIPE FOR BEFORE ⭐
What a transformation! This apartment in North Sydney boasting Harbour Bridge and Opera House views needed a complete overhaul. We knocked down walls, removed internal sliding doors and created this complete open plan space utilising every inch of floor space. This was a white glove service where we designed and managed the build on our clients behalf.
