Project details & specifications

Custom joinery provides concealed storage in the living area and bedroom, keeping sightlines clean and surfaces uncluttered.

Low-VOC finishes, locally sourced timber where possible, LED lighting and energy-efficient appliances were specified to reduce lifecycle impact.

Door widths, threshold-free transitions and adaptable furniture layouts were considered to future-proof the apartment for different life stages.
