The design of Apartment H needed to overcome issues of restricted space and light that faces many architects when designing small dwellings in the inner city. consisting of less than 70m2, the existing narrow space spanned between two facades with a single, heritage listed, window at either end. The result was a continuous open plan layout, simple and reflective materials, and a monotone pallet.
Extending the entire length of the apartment, floor to ceiling mirrors create a continuous reflection which refracts light and creates a sense of expanded space. Through perfect illusion, the mirrors conceal many cupboards, a study, bathroom and entertainment cupboards, keeping the apartment visually uncluttered.
Apartment H is a refreshing and calm space that offeres its occupants an uncomplicated back drop for a home.
