CENTRAL CITY APARTMENT

Our clients made the decision to downsize, but they didn’t want to sacrifice quality, comfort, or style. They found an ideally located apartment in the heart of the city — private, with serene views over the Avon River.

The use of colour, materiality, detailing and lighting creates distinct moods in different areas. On the first floor a moody den, layered in darker tones, transforms a small room into a calm and spacious retreat. The mid-level features a continuous joinery wall that transitions from media shelving to kitchen cabinetry and into a built-in dining banquette, creating functional zones while maintaining a strong visual thread. Curved corners add a sculptural softness and improve the natural flow of the open floor plan. On the top floor, the primary bedroom maximises storage while offering a serene and restful atmosphere. Across all levels, a cohesive palette is carried through soft furnishings and finishes, tying the spaces together with warmth and subtle continuity.
