THE STORY

Modern living room with beige curtains, a wooden sideboard holding a black lamp, a white vase with green foliage, books, and a sofa with pillows.

Having made an off-the-plan purchase of a three-bedroom apartment in the spectacular 'West End Residences' by Turner Studio, our client found herself in an entirely new environment in the inner-city of Sydney. Despite the elegance of her new home, she longed for a deeper connection to her native China.

She particularly missed the natural handmade elements and warmth of where she was raised, which led her to Studio Noakes who then led the transformation of her home.
