Harbour Mill Apartments

The architect I was assigned to was Grimshaw Architects. This is one of their past projects. It is an apartment complex in Sydney, Australia. What first caught my attention was that it looks like a new modern building sprouted out of the older brick building. It turns out that the architects designed the new building around an old flour mill. They managed to keep much of the classic style of the flour mill and incorporate it into some of the new apartments. Besides the contrast between old and new style, I really like how they included a large walkway through the center of the building. I love any architecture that breaks from the traditional mold like that. I also like the checkerboard pattern of balconies on the front side of the building. It allows for the building to not look like a common apartment building.
