For the past decade, the owners maintained this apartment as a rental property while residing in a spacious four-bedroom house with a garden. With their daughter moving out, they decided to downsize to the apartment, drawn by its convenient location and low-maintenance living. The apartment despite its narrow layout features a striking triangular kitchen island and frosted glass for natural light. It’s divided into an open-plan living area and private quarters, including a bedroom, rumpus room and study nook.

“This mid-century modern gem underwent a comprehensive remodel focusing on the office, principal bathroom, and laundry room. No stone was left unturned in creating this modern, functional space infused with whimsical touches and subtle nods to the 1970’s.”

The concept was a time-traveling train station as we referenced details of the original Chatham train station in the shelf and corbels of the custom booth, to the 70s California references and Viennese Hoffman chairs our client brought to the meetings. We tore down an outdated, clumsy coat closet to create a cozy fireside seating area with a hidden tech-cubby.
This foyer is an absolute dream! The tiny vestibule with newly built-in storage, all that glorious woodwork, the sweet powder room, those wallpapered stair niches….LOVE! Designed by Hollie Velten. Photos: Tom Leonczik.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish and what’s more stylish than a designer’s own offices. Smac Studio Office, Paddington, Sydney by interior architects Smac Studio.
