DROO Projects is a Paris/London based studio specializing in high-end residential design. This boutique apartment building tucked in behind a narrow listed Shop House building, in Melbourne’s inner suburb of Hawthorn.
The long narrow Shop house building typology allowed for the existing building to be extended to create two compact mini towers to the rear separated by a generous courtyard internally, providing light and outdoor living spaces for the individual apartments.
The building is characterized by its large glazed windows, and the strong faceted gold fins, which provide sun-shading and privacy between flats.
