Price range:: $2m - $3m
Building style:: Contemporary

A large, dated 80’s apartment was stripped and made over, with a complete re-plan and refurbishment. City and sea views were reallocated to living and bedroom spaces respectively; the buzz of the city for socialising; the calm of the sea for retreating.

The materials and finishes were kept refined with a reduced palette and consistency, lending calmness and serenity throughout. Cabinetry was carefully designed for plenty of storage and practical everyday living. Subtle brass highlights and blush pink fittings add a sense of charm and surprise.
