Set in an idyllic location, perched above the treeline overlooking the reservoir, this four-bedroom apartment has been converted into a space that focuses on the owners' yearning for a space that focuses on the nuances of idyllic living and sustainability.
To open up the existing enclosed and compartmentalised space of a four-bedroom apartment provided by the developer, a room was sacrificed and replaced with a gazebo for the owners to lounge in and a dedicated space to have a small tea session and host. To add to the formality of entering the gazebo, a platform made from OneWood—an eco-friendly timber made from reconstituted wood—was used to create a clear separation.
A mini garden was also added to the entire width of the balcony, utilising the underused space. The owner commissioned a local landscaper, Soil Boy, to design the garden, which was designed with a self-watering system and thoughtful plant curation, creating a zen garden right in front of the tea rooms.
With a focus on sustainability and nature, the apartment used materials that could age gracefully yet provide warmth and texture. Smooth timber veneer panels sourced sustainably paired with textured paint create a subtle contrast while adding another layer of texture to the space.
Soft furnishing emphasises the natural textures of materials that are also from sustainable sources. From the Hashira Floor Lamp to the Pelagus Lounge chair
A custom wall lamp was designed and made by the designer with the off-cuts of Onewood panels during the fabrication of the platforms
To embrace the continuity of idyllic living within this apartment, the bedrooms are also treated with the same level of detail as the living space. Full-height timber veneer wall panel wraps the entire Master Bedroom to create a warm and calm space for the owners to rest in.
