Melbourne-based Meme studio designed this beautiful apartment, the Melbourne loft, situated in a Melbourne laneway, this loft style apartment is found within a heritage building. Originally functioning as a dressmaker, the space has a charming blend of architectural qualities with high ceilings, solid timber storehouse doors, arched and industrial wired windows. The design intent of this generous one-bedroom apartment was to maximize living spaces while distilling the original character of the room.
The master bedroom /robe and bathroom are set back and obscured behind a full height ribbed glass screen with adjoining sliders. The ribbed glass itself produces dynamic levels of lighting and movement between the 2 rooms. The custom kitchen joinery is plywood finished in a metallic automotive coating, providing luster which compliments the dark matt walnut floors. The walls are a combination of whitewashed brick or lined with more expansive custom joinery in a soft matte finish. Windows and doors are now activated to open up the apartment onto the adjacent laneway, allowing Meme’s clients to welcome the inner-city atmosphere whenever they choose.
