The apartment is located within an art deco building in the Parisian end of Potts Point. The apartment has been redesigned in a modern style to maximize light, views and space. Elements of period interiors have been reinterpreted in a contemporary manner using sustainable design principles of working with recycled and reclaimed materials to create a space that is clean, refined and warm. The project successfully showcases how modern design can draw on references of the past delivering a space that is relevant and sympathetic to its surroundings and place.

As the apartment is a small space of 56m² the main objective was to make a smallspace feel large. This was achieved by reconfi guring the layout to be open plan, strategically locating mirrors to bounce light and views so that the interior space appears toextend and continue. The open space layout increases views of the Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge, which were previously underutilized. The selection of reflective materials serves to increase natural light throughout the apartment. Spaciousness was achieved by reducing the visual clutter through modernization of the details.
