Alteration and interior design of a 40-years old walk-up apartment unit.

The apartment was designed during one of the most experimental periods in housing design, a time which resulted in an interesting lofted apartment design, with the living, dining, and kitchen on one level and the bedrooms on the upper split level.

Our task was to enhance the space to reflect the client's character, an architect with a love for nature and a collection of plants she wanted to display throughout the house. We celebrated the apartment's essential elements while addressing issues of confined space by removing walls that separated the living, dining, and kitchen areas and bringing in more natural light.

On the upper level, we opened up one of the rooms and introduced a covered terrace which open up onto a roof top ledge. This allows the client to utilise the otherwise unusable space for gardening or just enjoying the breeze.

The materials and colour palette are kept intentionally neutral, serving as backdrop for the client’s plants collection.
