3rd most livable suburb in Sydney! :)
This morning I was excited to read on the SMH.com that Pyrmont has been rated as the 3rd most livable suburb to live in in Sydney.
That's another box ticked for Pyrmont!

I'm interested in getting people's takes on what type of blinds/shutters they are planning to use.
ReplyDeleteIt seems all the windows are floor to ceiling style with some of them full sliding open to balconies. This could prove to be a limiting factor in the choices that are logical.
What are everyone's thoughts on this matter?
I have been looking at straight drop awnings with side tracks to be installed behind the balcony railings, so it can enclose and lock the balcony area. Not thinking of installing anything indoors. Would the strata approve? I heard usually strata requires a certain colour but no particular style for blind installation.
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking the same thing! Ziptrack is my preferred option. I believe you're right, that if the blind is going outdoors even if just behind the balustrade, it's a bylaw/strata matter. Not just colour, but type will probably go into consideration as well to ensure it doesn't take away too much from HM's industrial aesthetic and doesn't create undue noise due to winds.
DeleteWest facing owners would probably like to consider this thoroughly as summer is fast approaching too.
Hi Linda, I would check initially with the strata manager about whether this is likely to be agreed by the Body Corporate. I'm guessing not. I think if many owners enclosed their balconies in different ways, it would have significant implications for the overall appearance of HM. All our blinds will be on the inside and we will not be enclosing the balcony.
Delete3-d most liveable suburb sounds terrific, provided we will actially live there some day! Has anyone received any updates on the occupancy certificate?
ReplyDeleteRe: blinds - I would prefer to move in and then consider which blinds would be most suitable. Potentially, we may not need any (although we are facing west), as the sun light may be at an angle and balcony is covered from all sides (as opposed to a totally open balcony without a ceiling). We will probably install something indoors - happy to discuss and for us all to share what we think the best options are and perhaps order in bulk to save $.
On another note, I measured the space provided for the washing machine to be 560mm wide.
ReplyDeleteThis will only fit the smallest of washing machines I think... Does anyone else have differing measurements for their washing machine area?
The sink in the laundry area is also really tiny.
I read that normal building codes should provide around 800mm for a washing machine of 600mm wide (fairly standard size) to go in with some space on either side for ventilation.
Options I've been tossing up in my head so far are:
1) Mount the washing machine where the drier is but this would need some ridiculously strong mounting frames to hold a vibrating washing machine with 100kg+ of water inside.
2) Install an even smaller sink
3) remove the inward swinging door and install a sliding type door and install the washing machine on the other wall inside the little area. I'm thinking the inward swinging door won't be able to open if you put the washing machine against the wall behind it.
All options are annoying and time consuming. I'm not sure I could survive buying a 5kg washer.
I've been doing some research on machines that will actually fit in this space and could only find 1...
DeleteBulk buy this thing? lol
1) 540mm wide LG Machine $575 @ goodguys - http://www.lg.com/au/washing-machines/lg-WT-H550-top-loader-washing-machine
Hi All,
ReplyDeleteRe: washing machine space - there is a long chain of correspondence on this topic on this blog under "post your comments after your inspection" - please take a look, this may be helpful... I hope my neasurements were correct and we will all be fine with the space provided for the washing machines. I think it would ve very unusual, if not absurd, if Ceerose provided fkr a space which is smaller than a standard machine size - this would be against BCA, I think. Also, if occupiers are a family - how can it ve expected that the washing machine needs tk be super small... And LG machines are not best quality.
Congratulation for the great post. Those who come to read your Information will find lots of helpful and informative tips. Cellular Blinds
