We were tasked to update a one-bedroom art deco apartment which had lost it’s original character from multiple renovations. We designed for maximising storage while creating generous living spaces.

A timber wall was installed between private and open living spaces that included flexible storage and the ability to close off when privacy was required. Organically shaped full-height mirrored cupboards help provide acoustic insulation and lightness to the otherwise narrow corridor. The wall morphs into bookshelves and a stone topped timber credenza.

A simple L - shaped kitchen provides flexibility. The gently curved rangehood redirects natural light while stucco-finished walls create a dynamic backdrop of light and texture.

A collection of subtle curves throughout the design mark the organic path to and from the private bedroom to the open living space. The architectural forms, bespoke details and materials selected give a nod to the apartment’s prior history with a clear focus on contemporary living.
