Princess Wharf

2006 FEIGIN APARTMENT Location: Princes Wharf Auckland Area: 280m² Services: Architecture & Interior design. 2006 DINZ Best Awards Spatial Design “ I thought I knew what I wanted, but Malcolm had much better ideas.  In just a few weeks a drab, ordinary apartment was turned into an award winner that is a joy to live in.  As a bonus, I will easily get my investment back when I sell the unit.” The concept was simple: Bring a developer Spec Apartment up to a standard to fit the Location. We found an industrial Porcelain Tile that set the Tone. A hammer finished concrete patina which allows us to place strong furniture & Joinery within the space. We elevated the Bed onto a Platform to increase the view beyond the expansive decks of the top floor of the Princess Wharf Building. Another idea was to use a trough of flexibly placed light fittings to connect the east & west spaces. This is a unique apartment that has both east & west orientation. A large collection of up and coming NZ artists surround the spaces. The lighting system stitches the Rooms together, where they were once separate Kitchen, Dining & Living rooms, now it is one space. The Media wall/ceiling joinery unit was designed to anchor & create a focus for a room that was swimming in space, helping to ground the lounge & give it a sense of calm. A totally satisfying Renovation, with decisions made incredibly quickly.
