Before & after: A waterfront apartment
This project came about when we were asked by our clients to transform a tired late 1980’s apartment which was a series of enclosed spaces at odd angles in an amazing harbour setting. Our studio redesigned the existing layout to create an open plan, light filled space. The kitchen and living areas ran the width of the space, creating horizontal proportions and drawing the eye out to the horizon line and harbour beyond, encouraging full use of the living spaces and outdoor terrace.
Before:
After:
The open plan living area includes a strong layering of colours and textures, reflecting those of the harbour. The room features a dark joinery cabinet with charcoal stone highlighting the gas fireplace.
The kitchen is a sculptural element in the apartment with large island slab, blue lined bar, pantry and fridge block, and textural timber cabinetry.
The bathroom was transformed from a bleak and dated space to a moody and inviting room with turquoise mosaic and large grey tiles.
