Away Home

In construction…

This modern apartment renovation was designed for a semi-retired couple seeking a refined coastal retreat that complements their primary Melbourne home. Located along the oceanfront, the project features a neutral, robust material palette and subtle textures that enhance durability and timeless appeal. The design maximises natural light and ocean views, creating a calm, functional space for both everyday living and entertaining visiting family.

The original 1980s apartment layout was strategically reworked to improve spatial flow, increase built-in storage, and eliminate the need for structural modifications—making it a cost-effective and efficient renovation. With a focus on contemporary apartment living, the interiors are designed to be filled with indoor plants, curated art, and custom joinery, resulting in a low-maintenance, high-comfort home tailored for modern coastal living.
