Solid wooden beams and exposed brick walls exuded potential when Sarah Trotter and Heart Studio first saw this old Merchant Builder garage. Without thinking twice they converted it into a lovely studio apartment.
With clever arrangements, the result turned out to be a roomy space, with a bedroom on a platform and views to the overhead gum trees. To help retain the soul of the old garage, while still maintaining a very calm look. Most of the interior such as the windows, bench tops, lightening, doors, sinks and WC were collected from second-hand sources.
