Quest Kangaroo Point - Apartment
We first met with the client in October 2016 to discuss doing some minor decorating updates of an investment apartment in Kangaroo Point. The apartment is part of a pool of serviced apartments managed by the QUEST Serviced Apartment / Hotel group in Kangaroo Point.
The apartments are offered to short-term residents/holidaymakers/business people etc, who do not want to stay in a traditional hotel environment, and prefer to have the option to prepare their own meals, and have a home away from home environment.
It is a two-bedroom apartment with an open plan living/dining/kitchen area, one bathroom, and a laundry. There are two balconies – one off the main living area and the second off the main bedroom.
After some deliberation – the client accepted that there was no “cosmetic, cheap, quick fix” for this project. The apartment was dated and needed a complete renovation in order to sure up and protect the investment.
The overall project included renovating the main living area, kitchen, bathroom, laundry and two bedrooms.
We provided some recommendations to address the immediate concerns. We also offered a bigger picture vision for the property which included:
• Spacial Planning i.e. zoning specific use spaces within the main living area • Renovating the kitchen • Renovating the bathroom • Renovating the laundry area • Re-flooring the entire unit - main living/dining/kitchen, bedrooms and retiling the entry and the bathroom. • Installing a robe in the main bedroom • Repainting the interior • Installing new window treatments • Stripping the stippled ceiling
• Updating and re-configuring lighting, light switches and power points and upgrading circuit board to accommodate new appliances • Furnishing, decorating and kitting out the entire apartment – furniture, furnishings, décor, appliances, cookware, crockery and cutlery, bedding etc
Client Brief: To update the entire unit, maximizing the available space, making it feel spacious and comfortable and modern. This inner-city apartment was renovated over a period of 6 weeks.
The renovation included replacing the kitchen, complete bathroom renovation, new engineered timber floor coverings throughout, repainting, window treatments, furnishing and decorating the apartment.
