We merged two separate apartments into a single, vibrant sanctuary. See how we balanced bold colours with custom woodcraft to create a home that feels open, airy, and deeply personal.

The living room of the T7 & T8 apartment features a custom blush-colored sofa that provides a beautiful pop of color against the grey textured wall and polished concrete floor.

The apartment is designed with clean lines and modern track lighting, but the use of color and texture keeps it from feeling cold or sterile.

The kitchen is the heart of this home, featuring bold teal cabinetry, natural rubberwood accents, and a spacious breakfast counter for casual meals.

The design of the kitchen focused on maximizing storage and counter space, with a large granite-topped island that is perfect for food prep and socializing.

About T7 & T8: Vibrant Living in the City

Merging two apartments is more than just knocking down a wall. For T7 and T8, we had to carefully plan how the kitchen and living spaces would flow together without feeling cluttered. We used a pass-through window to link the kitchen to the living area, creating an open feel that keeps the conversation going while you cook. It is all about making the most of every square foot, ensuring the layout works for your daily routine.
