Batch House Apartments | Mark Drury & Partners Pty Ltd Architects

Residential Architecture - Multiple Housing

The Batch House Apartments are a product of converting an existing warehouse located in arguably one of Hobart’s most vibrant and highly sought after suburbs, North Hobart.

Twelve apartments comprising of car park at ground level, living on the first floor level and sleeping on the second floor level, have been methodically placed within the original building’s shell. A new but simple material palette has been meticulously detailed to respect and seamlessly stitch the new with the original.

With the existing buildings boundary walls restricting any ability to provide external windows, a series of internal open light wells and courtyards vertically penetrate each apartment’s floor plates, delivering an abundance of natural light, ventilation and extensions of the living spaces.

The finished product brings a new chapter to the life of this existing building and is one which has been endorsed by its new owners/occupants and embraced by the local community.

Client perspective:
“My Batch House Apartment offers me a safe and secure, quiet haven to return to at the end of my day.

The light filled, dynamic design is well ventilated, private and functional. It’s a 10 minute walk to work, ample facilities are on my doorstep and when I use the car the secure garage entry to the apartment is perfect.

The attention to detail within the apartment is paramount, including the materials, ample storage spaces and clever integration of interior and exterior spaces through the internal courtyards and light wells. Collectively this is an effortlessly beautiful space to live in.”
