Penthouse Renovation, Adelaide

Adelaide · 2024

## Penthouse renovation in Adelaide

The penthouse arrived beige on beige: a newly purchased blank of a home that suited its owners’ life perfectly and reflected none of it.

The move itself made sense long before the interior did. Walking access to the city, a floor plan generous enough to entertain: this was the property they had waited for. Our brief was personality, and the warmth to carry it.

The palette turned on a colour the clients didn’t want. Deep Kalamata tones, near burgundy, were placed in small, deliberate doses through the space, and approved reluctantly. Then the rooms came together, and the colour they had resisted became the thing they point to first. It is now their favourite note in the home. Some decisions can only be judged assembled.

The fireplace was a must. A penthouse rarely allows a flue, so it became an ethanol firebox: the living room keeps its point of gravity, and the roof above keeps its integrity.

From the Journal

- [The Difference Isn't the Brief. It's the Thinking Behind It.](https://www.reslu.com.au/journal/the-difference-isnt-the-brief)

  Imagine handing the same recipe to five different chefs. The ingredients are identical. The budget is identical. The kitchen is identical. Yet every meal tastes different.

Planning something similar?
