This apartment renovation, for a young family, unlocks the potential of a closed off interior lounge. Limited by the existing structure, the redesign of the apartment removes an internal wall, reversing the division between shared and private living space allowing for ample light and fresh air between the open plan kitchen, lounge and garden. This proposal adds quaint and comfortable finishes with plain timber and terracotta material palette giving the apartment a ‘larger-than-is’ appearance with flexible options for work and play.
