Coastal Urban Renewal: Contemporary Apartment Facelift in Australia

This exterior renovation reimagines a classic Australian apartment with a fresh, contemporary lens. Vaults Studio elevated the façade by merging sleek glass balconies, textured stone columns, and warm timber accents, achieving a striking contrast that honors the building’s heritage while propelling it into modern elegance.

A carefully curated material palette—featuring crisp white render, vertical timber slats, and raw stone—imbues the structure with depth and visual interest. Lush greenery frames the outdoor spaces, creating a seamless integration between built form and natural landscape. The polished glass balustrade enhances the sense of openness and invites natural light to dance across the facade throughout the day.

Our design approach emphasizes clean lines, balanced proportions, and sustainable materials—all tailored to suit inner‑city Australian living. The result is a harmonious blend of timeless character and contemporary sophistication, perfectly aligned with the lifestyle aspirations of discerning homeowners and investors.
