TO BOLDLY GO

Inspired by boutique accommodation, this apartment is a luxurious home with a hotel feel

Feeling a kinship with your interior designer is surely the first step to a successful project – and the owners of this apartment in a ski resort town didn't have to look too hard to find a connection with their designer, Kate Walker. “The apartment in question was one that my fiance and I had looked at purchasing, so I had an intimate knowledge of the interior, and of the potential,” says Kate. “We didn’t have the chance to purchase the apartment, so the joy I derived vicariously by being able to deliver the owners their dream ski home was immense.”

In addition, the homeowners’ tastes and vision for the property aligned perfectly with Kate’s own.

“It was definitely a passion project,” she says.
