Set inside a 1970’s building and untouched for 50 years, Nicholas Gurney and his clients wanted to create something open, light and airy whilst retaining the 1960’s and early 1970’s retro sensibility.
The only change to the floorplan was removing the walls encapsulating the kitchen, making one large open space, and adding a breakfast bar come dining area which separates the kitchen from the living space. A function wall in the living room contains a built-in sofa with mirrored covered drawers underneath, which disappear and make the sofa appear lighter. A queen size murphy bed hidden above the sofa rests on the ottoman when down. In the kitchen, wrapped in Australian Blackwood, the closest local equivalent to teak, the clever use of a tambour door means the pantry can be concealed when not in use. The timber surfaces wrap around from the kitchen to the bathroom, where custom terrazzo tiles cover the floor and small mosaic tiles on the walls directly reference the original kitchen tiles found in the apartment.

I love this asthetic. the use of cork and the tiles is genius.
This is beautiful and I'd love to do something like this – I imagine all the custom joinery would likely be quite expensive but it is really stunning.
it seems like the reno made it smaller
Love it. Adore it. Want to live in it!
Love the little bedside niches!
Finally! A SMALL space! Lovely stuff.
Functional kitchen shelves ❤️
excess paint on the main entrance door should have been removed.
Who knew Aussies like NFL?
I could definitely live here but why am I seemingly the only person triggered by that hanging cord on the pendant lamp? 🙂
I’m glad to see a small space that doesn’t compromise on the kitchen. I love to cook and most of the kitchens on this channel would be hard to use for more than a quick occasional meal and would force you to eat out most of the time. I appreciate that they were able to fit plenty of counter space, a full size fridge and storage in such a small space.
A young couple in their first home? 🤔They definitely need some blackout curtains or they don't care what their 9 neighbours across the living room can see.
Would love to live in Sydney ❤️
I love everything but I would put a tv somewhere
Musik is not good.
Finally REAL small apartment!
Another awesome project of Nicholas Gurney! Well done.
I really like the mid century modern kitchen
Beautiful, thoughtful design. If I were to live there with a spouse I'd add a comfy (retractable-Ikea-size/style) lounge chair (to sometimes relax alone) and a larger piece of artwork.
The bathroom is my favorite so far…
But where’s the Aesop soap?
Love the attention to detail. The space for a finger to open the mirrored cabinet is excellent. I’m a new fan of this architect
Very minimalist until… you see they have a total of 5 containers of toothpaste. Why?!
Excellent design, well done. Feels much more spacious.
Great! Greeting from Athens Greece
Looks great! Very practical and creative. Although I have mixed feelings about that deep closet wardrobe piece.
Beautiful kitchen. Clever use of space. Well done!
