Concept & Features:
The apartments are named the "Green & Blue" rooms. They are joined by an interconnecting door that when open conceals the kitchen unit of the Blue room. When closed the panel becomes a mirrored feature wall.
Both apartments take full advantage of the Sydney Harbour Bridge views from the living areas and master bedrooms. The Green room is slightly larger and includes a balcony area for outdoor dining and guest toilet.
The ceilings in both apartments can be transformed by the flick of a master switch at each entrance. From shiny mirrored ceilings they magically become a myriad of swimming silver fish. Some lighting and furniture is from the Zaha Hadid range to enhance the Décor.
The master suites have a small carpeted area under the king-sized floating beds to protect the marble flooring and provide added warmth and atmosphere.
Televisions drop down from a concealed region inside the ceiling and can be retracted via a remote control.
