Apartment Rangoon is an ode to modern tropical island living — a private oasis conceived for a young family seeking refuge from the city's pace. Warm tones replace the original stark white walls, while bespoke walnut shelving frames a well-loved book collection.

A dark mocha leather sofa and a heritage coffee-shop granite table anchor the open-plan living and dining area, their weight and texture allowing the two spaces to flow into one another without need for walls. At the rear, an Arabescato waterfall island counter grounds the kitchen — sculptural and tactile.

Dark timber cabinetry, warm oak flooring and contrasting sintered stone come together , giving the home its distinct, textural warmth.
