The apartment on the waterfront of Point Piper previously had a rhomboidal layout with a multitude of lavish finishes making the interiors both disconnected visually and difficult to furnish.

We reconfigured the layout to create a new lobby, reading room and turned the powder room into a bathroom by adding a shower. The finishes were toned down by upholstering the walls in linen and timber veneer. Elegance was achieved through a combination of dark and light finishes creating a calming backdrop for furniture and art.

The reading room at the rear of the apartment creates an intimate break out space for reading. Mood lighting combined with dark joinery and upholstered walls create an ambient setting for reading. The walls are lined with horizontal bookshelves that incorporate display boxes with integrated lighting in different sizes as structural elements proving a focal point and pause between books.
