With its striking coral exterior, sky bridges and views from all four sides, Architect Ben Ellul's apartment in the heritage listed Caringal Flats is a unique part of the suburban Melbourne skyline. Where possible Ben retained and restored all the apartment’s heritage details, maintaining white and textured surfaces but adding a series of sleek black contemporary joinery throughout. Inspired by the apartment's views and abundance of natural light, Ben removed the internal walls originally closing off the bedroom, kitchen and entryway, adding a freestanding double sided storage unit that divides the bedroom from the living room. The bathroom and laundry are cleverly concealed by a series of doors leading to the bedroom and low custom made furniture throughout maximises the apartment’s functionality and access to views. A thoughtfully designed space that preserves the apartment’s aesthetic appeal, Ben’s home is functional first and foremost with a beautiful minimalist touch.

I love the idea of having light on all four sides! But I'm not convinced about taking down the walls between the bedroom, living room, and kitchen. What if someone wants privacy or to take a phone call? Sound travels. I also don't like how you need to open two doors, including a big one, to get to the fridge. Also the laundry in the bedroom, wouldn't the noise be annoying if someone is sleeping. Just some odd details I wouldn't want to deal with. Love the look of the place.

@@LottoLogistayou live with what you have. But it was designed for how they live, so those things don’t bother them. I wouldn’t like floating “walls”, but maybe they don’t have any secrets and the washing machine makes white noise. I wouldn’t say no to a flat in Toorak, Melbourne.

This is beautiful, what an incredible building. The lift grate! The aerial passageways! The view! I'm so glad the whole surrounding build is still standing and cared for. I love that everything was kept low to the ground, it feels so spacious even though with all the storage there's actually quite a lot of stuff in there. I personally like all the black joinery, it really feels like it was embraced as a feature rather than being something to hide. And the entrance way cupboard with the special doggo room is so charming. I don't think he even touched on the light on the swing arm in the living space and what looks like a winter garden rather than a balcony. My only concerns are that the fridge cupboard door could be annoying though aesthetically lovely; and that if it's all the original glazing it's going to be a bit frosty in Melbourne in winter. Truly such a beautiful place though!

The living room looks like an office and the bedroom reminds me of changing rooms in a public bath.. Also I'm not sure putting a huge black shelf in the middle is a very innovative use of space. And it makes the room appear much smaller than it is 🙈 but of course I know that this made especially for their needs and this is what matters. 😊

I would have chosen a lighter colour (of wood) for the massive furniture, but it is a matter of taste. I would also want a proper door separating bedroom from living room. I might have opted for a screen and projector instead of a stand TV.
