Living Room
The existing living room comprised an assortment of loose furniture and was lacking in character. Although it sits three steps lower than the main entrance, the change in level did not contribute meaningfully to the existing interior. The design team seized the opportunity and conceived of a sunken concept for the living area. The lower floor level complemented by the monochromatic Brutalist palette, gives the space a cosy, cave-like quality.
Former Balcony
The spacious, semi-open balcony was under-utilised before. By making it part of the apartment's interior, the new owners now use it as a dining area. It is separated from the living room by a concrete vent block wall that reinforces the Brutalist style while allowing natural light and ventilation to filter through.
This old walk-up apartment is located on the third level of a four-storey block and is home to a couple in their late 30s who work in the airline industry. Although well-maintained by its previous owner, the interior decoration was outdated and the layout did not suit the couple's needs and lifestyle.
The new layout has a clear zoning with a better spatial flow that also promotes good cross-ventilation across the length of the home.
