Portobello Apartment
Opening up an apartment for a young family by the sea.
Our proposals look to re-organise the client’s apartment to make the most of views over Portobello promenade and beach, so that from the moment you open the front door you feel connected with the seaside.
An existing warren of rooms in the centre of the plan are removed, along with the main entrance door to the apartment, and bedrooms and bathrooms relocated to make the most of the ‘light’ space that the client have.
A new piece of joinery is proposed along the length of the apartment, varying in use as it passes through separate rooms and spaces. At the entrance to the property it acts as a cloaks cupboard, then becomes a writing desk as it passes through the hallway, after which it becomes the kitchen, and eventually becoming the living room cabinet.
A material palette of blond timber cabinetry and flooring are utilised to help reflect light deep into the floor plan, and existing masonry walls exposed to keep the finishes as simple, hard-wearing and natural as possible.
