The brief

Walls were taken down and rebuilt to a new plan, turning two bedrooms into three. The apartment was then finished room by room: ceilings and lighting, three bathrooms and a powder room, and joinery throughout.

Interior design by the client's appointed studio. Built under another company's contract, with the Olea Sol team managing the works.

These photographs are from our site. The finished rooms are not published yet.

  • Strip-out to the slab; walls demolished and rebuilt to a new layout
  • Gypsum ceilings with LED coves and recessed black track lighting
  • Bathrooms rebuilt on a waterproofed base and finished in large-format stone-look slabs
  • Joinery: kitchen with long island, wardrobes, library shelving, fluted feature walls, slatted headboard walls
  • Black-framed smoked-glass sliding doors
