Here, the choice was made to open up all the windows to maximise the amount of light but also the number of views to the outside world. The kitchen is completely open to the living room and stands out for its colour, but is discreet in that it hides all its cupboards, offering a kind of extension to the living room, reinforced by the presence of a large mirror above the worktop, which plays with the volumes and has fun blocking the view with a play of reflections. The bedroom has been designed as a glazed hut set into the flat. Made entirely of rough-hewn planks, it provides just enough space for a double bed, a dressing area and a discreet passageway to the bathroom, which is dressed in pink and marble. Playing with perspectives and offering unobstructed views, while at the same time highlighting the uniqueness and specificity of each room, makes the small square metre definitely more lively and livable.

The owners found a “perfect” One big problem … it lacked personality. Enter Sydney-based design studio Esoteriko who revived it with targeted interventions such as new joinery, a fireplace and staircase, along with art curation, lighting, custom rugs, furniture, and window treatments. They connected indoor spaces to the garden, redesigned the kitchen’s double-height volume and added a delicate balustrade to the concrete stairs and custom brass pendants.

“It was important that there was not one overpowering genre or style, rather that new and old could sit comfortably together, alongside new material elements and the ‘bones’ of the house, expansive grey limestone. The decorative elements needed to create a sense of warmth and comfort that expands outdoors.”
