Bondi Beach.

A two-bedroom apartment in Bondi Beach. Spectacular ocean views making this a breathtaking backdrop to this newly renovated apartment. A small building of only 9 apartments in a blue chip setting the brief was set around the owner having decided to stay and renovate, instead of selling.

It had not been renovated for the last 12 years and needed a breath of fresh air. The apartment even though it still looked bright, airy and inviting in its old condition, just wasn’t representing my client. She was after bold and soothing, a juxtaposition of feelings. Working from home she needed the structure and built-ins of office space in a strong aesthetic but then wanted to also be able to switch off and be at peace in the same setting, which drove the colour schedule for the master bedroom, inviting a soft and peaceful setting. The second bedroom needed a dynamic and invigorating feel and the overall look needed to be a soft take on Industrial.
