Sydney Apartment




This apartment is located amongst the city skyline and enjoys views to Sydney’s great icons, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House. The apartment required an upgrade to the kitchen, bathrooms and general level of finishes that would reflect the sophisticated location and views.

The design concept started as a black and white theme, which allowed for integration with existing finishes and decorative elements that remain unchanged. New finishes include granite bench top with leathered finish, black cork flooring, striped and tonal sisal carpets and a bold black, white and rust paint palette throughout.

Eco friendly initiatives involved replacement of new bathroom and kitchen tapware to comply with WELS ratings, introduction of new fluorescent and LED light fittings. The reuse of existing joinery carcasses, timber trimmings, plumbing points and kitchen appliances was both a sustainable and financial decision.

The elegant black and white theme, together with the burnt orange/rust coloured paintwork and timber highlights has seamlessly merged the existing and new elements. The design has also provided a great setting for loose furniture and decorative items that evoke a sense of luxury and style.
