A joyful apartment transformation
This project is a beautiful townhouse in Noosaville which was totally gutted and transformed into a stylish apartment with a coastal feel. Our client’s love of colour prompted Di’s use of soft mint blue kitchen cabinetry with contrasting black handles against a crisp white splashback to create a calming and welcoming space.
We reconfigured the space by moving the kitchen from the middle of the living area to the corner of the room, replacing the existing dining area. This helped define the living zones and created the following spaces which made sense for entertaining.

The bathrooms were demolished and replaced with crisp white tiles, cabinetry and coastal
themed feature tiles. We even managed to fit a free-standing bath in the tiny main bathroom!

For the living room, natural timber and cane with a splash of white softened the mood throughout the living area, complemented by feature lighting. The use of textural greens, blues, and objets dárt against a white palette has made this home an oasis anyone would love to spend time in.

Wallpaper is something that reminds us of the 70s but its use can totally transform any room in a short space of time. Di LOVES wallpaper and uses it whenever possible to make any area luxurious, bright, or texturized.
This townhouse has been transformed to emphasise the client’s quirky, unique style whilst still maintaining a cool, clean, and bright atmosphere throughout.

Comments (0)This project was an Auckland City Apartment of which was four stories and we undertook the renovation of three bathrooms. We were engaged by Nicola Manning Design to undertake project management and construction. The biggest challenge in this renovation was the en-suite at on the fourth floor. The design included a stone bath which was 170 kilos. We had to create more bracing in the floor to ensure the bath was safe when it was full and had a person in it. From the beginning, we worked closely with everyone including our client to ensure they were aware of the work and materials needed to ensure this bath was safely installed. Due to early communication and our problem solving around how to brace the floor, the project still ran smoothly and did not affect the timeline. Despite this being a minor variation for our clients, our early communication around costs and options created an easy stress-free decision-making process for our clients, which is what we aim for in every single project. The bath took four members of our team to carry the bath to the top story and was completed over an hour and a half due to the tight space in the apartment. The before and afters show the difference between each transformation and we are very proud to have completed this project through the Build Collective sub-trades.
