Matt Woods, aka Killing Matt Woods, recently completed his first residential project in the Sydney suburb of Camperdown. The apartment, named Perfect Storm, was created for two design professionals with a “concrete bunker” theme. Woods’ love of Brutalist architecture led the design plan, along with the industrial history of the surrounding neighborhood.
Located in a converted warehouse building, the home features a scaled back, minimalist aesthetic with a muted color palette and sculptural shapes.
The apartment has an open floor plan for the main living area with the living room connected to the custom kitchen. A mezzanine bedroom overlooks the living space.
One end of the loft is floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the interior with lots of natural light which helps keep the moody space from being too dark and drab. Wood details, brass accents, and bold lighting bring an intentional mid-century feel throughout.
The ceiling’s curves soften the angular nature of the concrete surfaces. The wood floors and ribbed wooden surfaces counterbalance the coldness of the cold grey walls and ceilings.

Love it.!
Partly as i have a very similar plot. (3 sides with no windows.) And I don’t know what to do with it. That doesn’t end up looking like an awful cave.
One question.
How does the client feel about having the bathroom downstairs.
As opposed to on the bedroom level?

Ugh! “Inspired by brutalism” is an oxymoron.
