A BALANCED HAVEN

Central Avenue, Indooroopilly QLD 4068

Design Concept
Converting a two-bedroom apartment into 2 x separate two-bedroom units by sharing communal areas.

Driven by Australia’s housing pressures and the need for more compact, sustainable dwellings, this project draws on micro-living principles and Zen design. Shared spaces, multipurpose joinery, and thoughtfully integrated greenery create homes that feel generous, grounded, and tailored to how people actually live.

BACKGROUND

Apartment 1 has fold out privacy screens that can be extended separately at any time.

  • A response to denser urban living - transforming one standard two-bedroom apartment into two independent two-bedroom homes that share resources while protecting privacy, light, and calm. Harmony, balance, and tranquillity shape spaces that support both solitude and gentle community.

    • Communal areas: Entry, Kitchen, Dining and Zen Garden.

    • Murphy beds + bifold doors that convert living/study into private bedrooms

    • Shared Zen garden for quiet nature connection

    • Neutral palette of timber, stone, soft greens, and natural light

    • Storage incorporated under the kitchen booth

    • Apartment 1 - 2 X Bothers

    • Apartment 2 - Married Couple

    • Revit

    • Twinmotion
