Elizabeth Bay Apartment 01

Description

Re-design of a studio unit that maximises space and functionality, effectively transforming it into a cozy 1-bedroom retreat. Our innovative approach to design and commitment to creating homes seamlessly blend form and function.

The original unit presented a unique challenge with a single bed nook, leading to a cramped living area where a queen-sized bed was awkwardly housed. Addressing this, we created a strategic reconfiguration, removing a short wall, relocating the bathroom door, and optimizing the kitchen layout. Subtle yet impactful changes allowed us to carve out a private corner for a queen-sized bed within existing spaces, transforming it into the bed nook.

We also undertook a comprehensive update of the bathroom and kitchen, ensuring both areas were modern and had effective storage. New flooring, lighting, and paint breathed new life into the unit, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere.

Reimagining the layout and utilising bright colours enhances the sense of openness, transforming the living area into a truly usable living/dining space.

Within a tight budget and minimal building constraints—limited to the demolition of a non-load-bearing wall and a door relocation—we achieved remarkable results.

The North-facing aspect provides a bright and airy outlook to Rushcutters Bay, enhancing the appeal of the space. We believe great design should elevate the functionality of spaces and enhance overall quality of life for owners.
