The seating area is grounded with two large-scale tables with
integrated ottomans in custom metallic embossed leather by
Moore and Giles.
A three-dimensional custom lighting configuration directly
above (the Link light, again by Vibia) provides a sculptural
element, giving soft diffused light to the overall area, whilst
custom cushions by KNOF design(using fabric by Weitzner)
add colour and texture. The
television and apartment’s
state-of-the-art audio-visual
system are integrated into the
bespoke, full-height joinery (by
KNOF design) in a subtle reuse
of the dyed grey veneer. Soft
voile ‘Meander’ curtaining by
Weitzner is located along the
full perimeter to add a soft
elegant effect and diffused
light.
Located off of the main living
area are the master bedroom
and study spaces. The
circulation area leading to the
master suite is a continuation
of the natural dyed grey timber
veneered panels with storage
behind. An existing overhead
structural beam is received
by an open shelving detail
incorporating varying toned
dyed natural veneers in natural dyed pink, bird’s eye maple,
grey walnut, eucalyptus and natural Tay (koto).
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, ikat-printed wall covering with a large scale, centrallyplaced, bronze-embossed framed mirror by Porta Romana. A bright plush velvet coral chair offsets the soft tones.
Another notable detail in the master
bedroom is the custom-designed, fullyupholstered soft grey nova suede headboard
by KNOF design with an abstract, criss-cross,
deep nailing pattern, picking up on the
crossed legs of the Poliform white, mattelacquered 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 walk-in wardrobe is
located off the master bedroom and provides
direct access to the individual his-and-hers
ensuites.
‘As the kitchen is part of the
overall open living plan’ Susan
Knof explained, ‘it was essential for
it to be both aesthetically-pleasing
and functional and the chosen
solution therefore allows for
clean living at the slide of a panel.
