At The Georges, the living room and main bedroom both open onto a balcony above the lane, through French doors with tall brass bolts.

Living and dining share one 7.4-metre room, with cornices and a column between the two. Glazed double doors close off the kitchen.

The Georges opened in 1891 as a cyclorama: a round hall built to show a single 360-degree painting of the Siege of Paris. Its round walls still stand in the underground car park. Georges bought the building in 1960 for its Hostess Store, and in 1995 the roof came off and the atrium went in.

The Athenaeum is a block south on Collins Street; Bourke Street is a block north.

All photos are digitally edited. The apartment was photographed empty, so its furniture and styling are virtual. The atrium photos show the building's common areas.
