The story behind the build
At 34 May Lane, Neutral Bay, Fluid Building Services executed a transformative adaptive reuse project, converting a compact 150m2 footprint into a sophisticated, multi-level asset. Originally consisting of a single level of car parking and two floors of office space, the site was meticulously reconfigured to house parking, a high-spec commercial office level, and three levels of luxury residential apartments. Leveraging our deep expertise in remedial building and structural strengthening, we successfully unlocked value within the existing structure, ensuring that every inch of the building’s footprint was utilized with precision and purpose.
The finished project is a testament to our ability to deliver bespoke, high-quality finishes within complex architectural constraints. The interior design features a five-storey glass lift - highlighted by a stunning 18-metre installation of artwork within the shaft and 5-star fire stairs incorporating rustic designer finishes. Throughout the residential levels, we prioritised a tactile, premium aesthetic, integrating natural materials such as Australian hardwoods and feature stone to create a seamless, high-end living environment that sets a new standard for urban intensification.
