CARR is a multi-skilled firm of Architects and Interior Designers. Long recognized
for a contemporary aesthetic and sharp focus on detail, CARR is one of the most
respected design firms in Australia. This is interior design in Herald and
Weekly Time building, some portfolio of CARR.

The brief was to customise this Melbourne apartment - within the historic Herald and
Weekly Time building - to meet the client’s specific needs for loft volumes, a canvas on
which to highlight an extensive collection of artwork and increased storage space.

An original scheme put forward by base building architects rendered the mezzanine
suitable for storage only. Through considered planning and intelligent redesign of
mechanical and hydraulic services, the design team was able to sigificantly
increase the value of the mezzanine level to accommodate a guest bedroom, guest
bathroom, media room, library and art store.

Despite the client’s practical requirements, of which there were many, the apartment
has maintained the lofty, inspired feel of a New York style studio. Spaces have been
maximized without the apartment feeling at all crowded. If anything, the overall ambiance
is one of spaciousness.

The result is a modern, contemporary interior contrasted with glimpsed views of the
historic architecture and awe-inspiring outlook over inner Melbourne. The double
height living spaces and refined color palette provide texture and depth reflecting a
clear sensitivity to the space, the client’s needs and to the location.
