Set within a duplex apartment, the project reflects a synthesis of past influences and future aspirations – a spatial composition that balances quiet elegance with elemental clarity.

Within, the interior is articulated through a restrained language of minimalist insertions and tonal softness. Designed with an emphasis on social intimacy, the primary living areas are open yet unobtrusive, arranged to support gatherings without interruption. The dining zone is anchored by a bespoke shelf embedded directly into the wall, aligning with the project’s integrated approach to layout and function. Nearby, a compact kitchen extends into a bar counter – a nod to earlier iterations of the home’s layout – reinforcing a sense of continuity through gentle transformation.

Ashwood sliding screens offer a subtle division between zones, mediating the threshold between indoor living and the planted garden beyond. At the heart of the lower level, a tree rises from within the interior, a quiet symbol of growth that softens the spatial rigour and draws the outside in. This gesture toward nature is echoed in the reconfigured staircase, now poised upon twin timber platforms that both ground the form and ease the transition to the floor above.
