My Porter Davis Build Blog

This massive 1000sqm apartment with screaming city views and literally walking distance to CBD has just listed on the market. It is expected to fetch a new record for an apartment in Melbourne. Strangely the listing price is in USD so the final price could depend on how the AUD is fluctuating at settlement! http://www.domain.com.au/property/for-sale/apartment-unit-flat/vic/east-melbourne/?adid=2011580160&sp=1

Here's some photos of our Hawthorn bricks. These were category 4 upgrade and costs ~$5k. The off white mortar was another $1k on top. We chose to have the rolled joints instead of a flush finish. I think the off white mortar together with the rolled joints make the bricks stand out better and have been well worth the money.

Painting is complete. We've gone for the grey finish to the walls. Here's how the Winter Mushroom looks. Originally we thought of doing white for the architraves and doors but got convinced by the colour consultant to use the same paint all round. Was a bit worried at first but it has come off nicely.
