Interior Design Concept

The design concept centres on the apartment acting as a quiet framework for living with art. Inspired by gallery spaces, the interiors are deliberately minimal, emphasising proportion, scale, and materiality over decorative detail. The staircase becomes a sculptural focal point, enhancing the sense of vertical connection between levels while maintaining openness and flow. Natural textures, soft tonal contrasts, and integrated lighting create a calm, refined backdrop.
