Business consultancy owners Sharon and Rafael embarked on the renovation of their new home with crystal clear ideas. “We wanted a home with unique touches that would give it a personality. And it had to be practical and not just about aesthetics,” says Sharon. Rafael adds: “We also wanted to integrate elements of luxury that would age well – something timeless, but not boring.”
Designed so that everything has its place – right down to the height of shelves to accommodate a specific brand of toiletry – the couple admits to being “overly specific” about everything they wanted. This could be a trait carried over from their professional lives where they specialize in space activation and management.
Sharon and Rafael had fixed ideas about each space but appreciated how architect Austen Chan, a partner at P5 Bespoke, managed to pull everything together for an overall consistent design. He even combed through their previous apartment with them to suss out what worked and what didn’t so they could make better-informed decisions for their new home.
The entire apartment was overhauled, with P5 Bespoke undertaking all of the interior design, renovation, and carpentry works. These included reconfiguration of the layout, demolition, plumbing, electrical work, masonry, and glazing works.
