This stunning apartment renovation creates a minimal and spacious feeling that is perfect for modern living. Bespoke built-in storage hides away the clutter of day-to-day life.

Each space in the open plan apartment has its own unique character. We've used vertical floor to ceiling bookshelves and storage in the entry area to create a home office and extensive library and draw attention to the high ceilings. The shelving hides a myriad of essentials including scarves, bags, bike helmets, keys, printer and art supplies, and of course a lot of books. The timber rolling library ladder gives an old-world character and allows access to books right up to the high ceiling level.

In the living room the new joinery has a horizontal form that extends the sense of space out to the windows and outside. Long low joinery and floating art shelves allow for a rotating display of the owners’ extensive art collection. A custom folded raw steel stair provides easy access to additional storage space located on a mezzanine above the bathroom.
