My friend lives in a disused 1930s office
block in Sydney’s CBD.
It is full of people who use the empty office spaces as
photo studios, creative spaces, and living areas.
It is somewhat of a warren
with bridges and overpasses that lead up and down stairways,
around corners and
down narrow corridors all of which are completely covered with graffiti.
He has made a disused office space into a
compartment apartment with each small area,
within the empty room, have
different but complimentary functions.
He has put it all together on a shoestring budget.
With lots of street shopping, otherwise known
as stuff that has been dumped,
he has created an apartment that is a welcoming,
enjoyable, intimate home.
Clever him.
