Pearbank Apartments Beauty in the concrete forms of the 1970's Brutalist movement Recent renovations have included exposing all the existing structural concrete forms, changing flooring materials to compressed volcanic-ash tiles from the Merapi volcano in Indonesia, and the addition of thousands of meters of silver-grey Indian silk draperies. Previous heavy timber handrails have been reduced to minimalist 25mm stainless steel abstractions. The few remaining interior walls of this 4,000 sq ft space are glass or white laminated glass for toilets. Floating platforms for the living room and loft bedroom are Balau planks installed with battens as in Kampung construction, left raw to age via the sun. |
