Darling Point Residence

While many apartment renovations concentrate primarily on finishes and surface upgrades, this Darling Point apartment refurbishment takes a different approach by celebrating the faceted geometry of the original 1970s building. The 160 m² residence has been designed for a couple transitioning from a large family home. They engaged Chenchow Little seeking a design that moved beyond conventional solutions—something that balanced a sense of formality with moments of unexpected delight throughout the interior.
