8 Brooke Street - The Terrace Penthouse, Hobart TAS 7000

Metamorphosis. Take the iconic 1860s City Flour Mill, add the vision and experience of brothers Stephen and Brendon Bourke, two names synonymous with innovative hospitality projects and fuse the ideas of award winning, local architect Stuart McKenzie Hall whose portfolio includes the Baha?I Centre and design a ethos that is all about sustainability and creating spaces redolent with unique characteristic ambience and you will begin to feel the pulse of this intriguing reinterpretation of a link to Hobart?s industrial history.

The Terrace Penthouse is distinguished by a free flowing, well equipped kitchen, living and dining space which extends through glass doors onto an outdoor terrace. The glass brings the outside in and enhances the mesmerising views which stretch all the way from the spire of St George?s church to the waterfront below. Finishes are light and neutral and fuse with the original fabric of the building. The spacious master suite commands one end of the penthouse, which includes dormer windows framing the view and a beautifully appointed ensuite complete with freestanding bath and separate walk in shower. Two additional bedrooms, one with ensuite and a third bathroom accessed off the living area complete the floorplan.

Focusing on the heritage aspects of this distinctive 150 year old building, original elements are integral to this project with worn bricks, original timber beams and vaulted ceilings all revealed and fused with contemporary, sustainable materials including glass, stainless steel, ceramic and stone. With a 6.5 star energy rating, both apartments also enjoy quality European appliances, NBN connection, keyless entry and they are cable ready. Gas hydronic heating, runs under the floor and you will find 100% wool carpets, thermal and acoustic insulation, secure ground floor parking with direct lift access and entry via the central staircase, all of which will create a comfortable and private environment.

Perfectly located on the doorstep of some of Hobart?s best restaurants, pubs, cafes and provedores and just across the road from the MONA ferry terminal, the weekly Salamanca Market and with TMAG nearby, all of which contribute to a vibrant, contemporary, cultural neighbourhood. The lines between old and new are beautifully blurred in this dynamic project, demonstrating that elegance, luxury and sustainability can be achieved when mixing original elements with conscientious design.
