PEAK FLOW

TACKLING AN AWKWARD configuration by opening up the internal circulation with the clever use of curving elements as well as removing most ceilings to steal more vertical space has reawakened this apartment into a flowing, relaxed home.

Interior designer Andrew Macdonald of Allied_Office also dreamed up a moody industrial ambience with a darker palette for the interiors of the formerly too-bright, north-facing dwelling.

How did you become involved with this project and what was the clients’ brief?

We were recommended to these clients by their friends who were our former clients we had worked with on two other residential projects. The brief was initially centred around refurbishment mainly of the bathrooms and the kitchen. But our conversation led to a mutual feeling that the apartment was quite ‘circulation heavy’ and that the flow was very narrow so we were briefed to find a solution for these concerns.

What were the challenges of the space and how did you resolve them?
