A well-executed refurbishment of an existing apartment, this project uses a restrained selection of materials, finishes and details to greatly enhance the space. Like the inside of a jewellery box, each space has been carefully thought about and designed, working with the limited palette of materials – oiled oak floors, planes of white, and thin, bending straps of steel. What started as a minor alteration to a stair has transformed the apartment into contemplative and calm space for viewing the ever-changing views of the port area.
