The family had been renting in Ardmore Park near Orchard for over seven years, but they wanted to live in a bigger unit for a few reasons – hence moving into one of the condo’s six penthouses. The eldest daughter was moving back from the US, and they wanted enough space for entertaining at home, especially with COVID restrictions limiting the chance to dine out.
ABOUT THE HOME
Who lives here:
A couple, their two daughters and the family dog
Style and size:
8,740-square-foot penthouse apartment
Style brief:
“Timeless and elegant”
Makeover time:
Two and a half weeks, with the work being carried out just before Christmas 2021
OVERVIEW
The team from Arete Culture talk us through the project
We had several rounds of discussions and meetings before signing off on the design direction and vision. We conceptualised, designed, styled and planned for the entire home, including the outdoor spaces. Design and styling included wall treatments, floor recommendations, landscaping the patio and choosing the colour palette of each space.
We designed and built the beautiful bar and island in the open-plan living/dining area, designed and built the display cabinets and mirrored storage units in the tasting room, the media unit in the formal living room, the media wall with adjoining work desk in the master bedroom, and the murphy bed in the guest bedroom.
