Built in 1998, this long and narrow apartment was a relic of another era – dated, dreary, and desperately lacking in smart design. It needed a considered update, so the homeowners approached the experts at Nouvelle Designer Kitchens & Bathrooms for help.
The brief was simple – an ultra-contemporary, upbeat, welcoming update to the apartment that truly made the most of the limited space available. The team at Nouvelle took this in their stride and delivered a full-scale transformation that’s nothing short of extraordinary.
The living and dining areas, once plain and uninspired, are now thoughtfully zoned with a full-length, built-in storage and display unit. A striking curved timber TV unit welcomes guests into a space designed to enhance both lifestyle and aesthetics – perfectly framing the homeowner’s modern pop art collection.
The newly renovated kitchen now exudes contemporary elegance, boasting integrated appliances including a full-size French-door fridge, wall oven, washer/dryer and dishwasher.
A generous semi-walk-in pantry, custom coffee station and abundant drawers ensure the space
is as practical as it is beautiful. Sleek white cabinetry with gentle curves and light-timber accents provides a seamless backdrop for the heart of the home. Additional design elements such as polished cement floors and terrazzo tiles not only meet the design brief but make for
easy maintenance too.
In the bathroom, clever reconfiguration makes the most of the compact space. A semi-freestanding bath with in-bath shower and frameless glass blade, in-wall cistern WC and wall-to-wall mirror-door shaving cabinets create a clean, spa-like experience. Upbeat terrazzo feature tiles are right on trend and, paired with muted wall tiling, add vibrancy and visual interest.
Throughout the home, sleek lines, clever storage, and design-savvy solutions – including curved joinery, concealed air-conditioning, and polished concrete floors – create a streamlined, high-end feel.
This renovation has truly reinvigorated the apartment. From forgotten to functional and fabulous, it’s now a vibrant, welcoming home packed with personality, practicality and timeless style.
