A new teak ceiling defines the living
spaces – prefinished floorboards were
chosen for their distinctive graining
and large scale, notably their width and
length. The boards are separated by black
conduits that accommodate the lighting,
which helps to keep the look modern.
“The use of natural materials was a
common theme in the artworks, so we
have continued this with the interior
palette, introducing a range of different
natural- and dark-stained teak and walnut
veneers,” the designer says.

Above: A more generous entry to the apartment
was created by moving an angled interior
wall. The new wall, in slatted walnut veneer,
incorporates concealed storage. Because the
owners like to entertain, the designer also
introduced a bar in an area formerly taken by the
dining furniture. One entire wall is clad in vintage
ceramic tiles in jade green.
Left: The kitchen sits behind the angled wall of the
entry. Vintage tiles also feature on the splashback
in this area. The door to the left leads to a powder
room and laundry.
