Wellington Waterfront Apartment

These clients are a professional couple who wanted to update their space to reflect them and the environment they live in. And their brief was to have a functional kitchen design that is beautiful with clean finishes and lots of additional storage. The clients are entertainers and have an extensive booze collection, so we designed cabinetry and wine storage on the living room side of the penninsula bench. Overhead cabinetry allows access to glassware from this side and is a beautiful feature in it’s own right, with fluted glass and black powder-coated steel with LED lighting integrated.

In the dining space we’ve added a long bench seat spanning the width of the room which creates an eye line leading out to the ocean and the ‘Strand’ pendant light sits proud and in line with your walk down the hallway from the bedrooms. We re-designed the wardrobes to gain greater storage capacity for suitcases etc, and we’ve added more hanging space, and pull-out shoe storage.

Selected furniture and furnishings were carefully curated to fit within the small apartment space, for comfort and also to allow flexibility. Cuddling the sofa is a custom unit that doubles as a display space and a spot to put down your glass, with bonus additional storage cupboards behind the sofa. And who wouldn’t want to cuddle on this couch and stare at that view!
