Far more than historic pubs and a maritime past, the Port Precinct can thank a host of community-minded artisans for its rise, and centre stage, The Port Adelaide Institute has found its new residential groove...
Once a 1950s landmark museum, library, and cultural centre, it's now home to six architecturally designed and revolutionary new apartments.
For the no-strings-attached 20-somethings or those keen on a hands-free urban alternative, this is it - with a cherry on top communal rooftop terrace.
In a 2-per-floor layout over three levels, each 2-bed apartment is securely accessed via the ramp-assisted lift or foyer stairs by a personal fob - that fob also triggering a ground floor telescopic 6-car stacker securing three resident cars above, three below, and a forward exit onto St Vincent Street.
As for the tiled, glass-fronted foyer and its painted steel stairwell to all floors, its 1950s integrity is intact featuring textured block work, a tangerine pop, and a refined industrial edge.
Meanwhile, each designer white apartment adapts to the building's unique structure, lets you have a say in paint colours or storage options if you insist, yet naturally, the higher you go, east or west, the better your north-facing balcony views get.
But it's up to the rooftop for the crowd-pulling pavilion and gas plumbed BBQ, the ultimate 360-degree gaze across the CBD, hills, and the Port River to the soaring street art, weathered warehouses, evolving skyline, and your new Port lifestyle...
And what a feast that is. From Drummer Boy, Swedish Tarts, The Banksia Tree and Pirate Life to Port Shopping Mall's redevelopment, the historic Birkenhead Bridge to nearby Semaphore Road and its eatery array - your entrée to Semaphore's beach scene.
The historic Port Institute has turned a new leaf. Will you?
