During the renovation process, the architects focused on strategic use of lighting to give the interior a bright, open feel. Lighting fixtures throughout the home were kept simple to continue with the minimalist interior design scheme, and natual light was enhanced where possible.

The apartment has a number of space-saving strategies to help keep it as clutter-free as possible. Around the home, custom-made shelving was installed to help with storage. In the kitchen, sophisticated custom-made walnut panels hide all of the appliances. The dark wood millwork complements the countertops, backsplash, and upper cabinets, which were all made from 100% recycled black paperstone.
