The concept was to re-organise the internal layout of the Apartment to maximise the space in the bedrooms & make the Lounge dining, kitchen laundry all one room. We achieved this by relocating the guest Wc to back onto the ensuite & eliminate the hall that lead to the bathroom. We gained an extra 5m2 ( an added 5%) within the compact 98m2 . The Kitchen was a traditional set up, with a “pass through window” & enclosed. The Laundry was also a seperate room. By stacking the Fridge, Laundry & pantry along the back wall of the Apartment living area, we opened up the entire room allowing an island bench & hidden laundry within the kitchen. The selected Berch oiled ceiling wraps down the kitchen storage wall , adding a casual beach aesthetic & the gloss, hand made brick pattern grey/green tiles connects to the Waitemata Harbour, which feels like it is lapping at your feet.
The project also triggered a fire protection upgrade through out the Apartment block & a clever wireless smoke detection system helped mitigate exposed services within this fully concrete caste-instu constructed building.
The lighting, Kitchen & bathroom Joinery and finishes were under our design control, producing a casual, yet sophisticated Apartment that fully engages with the harbour at any time of the day.
