eucalyptus and natural Tay

‘A very important aspect
of this scheme’, Susan
Knofexplained, ‘was using
materials in such a way as to
allow for individuality whilst
still adhering to the client’s
budget. I always seek to
make use of every available
space and have beautifullyintegrated furniture with
a real attention to detail.
It’s what really makes the
difference. The small intimate
spaces that get used on a daily
basis do not go unnoticed. It’s
my intention to make the user
feel special every time the
apartment is in use.’
Another notable detail in
the master bedroom is the
custom-designed, fullyupholstered soft grey nova
suede headboard by KNOF
design with an abstract, crisscross, deep nailing pattern,
picking up on the crossed
legs of the Poliform white,
matte-lacquered side tables.
Full-length, flowing voiles
and curtaining by Weitzner
provides the expected level of
luxury, with an overall feel of
understated sophistication.
The shared open master walkin wardrobe is located off the
master bedroom and provides
direct access to the individual
his-and-hers ensuites. It is a
subtle, elegant space with
open wardrobes anchored by
a centrally-located pendant
light with a bespoke joinery
unit below. The small storage
joinery unit is made of a white
satin matte lacquer finish with
inlaid leather top and brushed
satin stainless handles, again
by Holland and Sherry. ‘His’
master ensuite is fully-tiled in
custom-cut, small, rectilinear
n atural limestone tiles. A
surface-mounted basin rests
on top of a custom vanity with
a honed quartzite top, a dyed
timber drawer front and open
stone shelf below. ‘Her’ ensuite
is a glamorous space with all
walls clad in a soft pink rosa
egeo marble with bright white
Thassos marble stone flooring.
Inset opal white marble stone
shelves provide some open
towel and display storage,
whilst a large-scale bowl
shaped basin sits on a white
quilted front lacquered vanity.
Joinery in the study is by
Molteni and C and is crisp
and contemporary with a
full height charcoal glass
sliding wardrobe door.
There is a combination of
open and closed storage,
along with an open TV and
an integrated desk, which
can be easily closed off. The
dark joinery is offset by an
exquisite two-tone textured
wall covering in a mid-toned
grey finish. The ensuite has a
newly-integrated, full-height,

In the master bedroom, the
fabrics and finishes continue
in the same soothing grey
and natural cream tones with
soft textural details and an
added bright coral accent.
An exquisite fully-bespoke
vanity, wardrobe, and media
unit is the highlight of the
space. The existing core walls
came into play here and
so it was important for the
joinery to work around and
with this given constraint.
The bespoke-designed unit
by KNOF design features a
built in vanity with a white
quartzite work surface and
small, individually-sized
storage drawers in varying
toned dyed veneers, all
with brushed satin stainless
handles with grey leather
inlay by Holland and Sherry.
The backdrop to the vanity is
a carefully-laid, textural, ikatprinted wall covering with a
large scale, centrally-placed,
bronze-embossed framed
mirror by Porta Romana. A
bright plush velvet coral chair
offsets the soft tones.
