Twenty Hall

by Smart Design Studio

The interiors of Twenty Hall are finely-detailed and simple to complement the rigorous geometry of the architecture, while pursuing a timeless, classic aesthetic.
Excellent apartment floorplans drove the interior design for this project, encompassing the following key principles:
– Framing the views, natural light and ventilation
– Proportion, balance and harmony in the rooms
– Integrated fixtures and fittings, to focus on surfaces and finishes rather than fixtures, and
– Long uninterrupted walls for art and furniture
The result is apartments which are easy to furnish, with a thoroughly resolved sensibility. The selected materials complement the architecture and introduce luxury and detail to the interiors. Off-white walls, ceilings, doors and trims are married with elegant stone tile flooring. With concealed lighting, hardset corners, flush door thresholds, tall joinery and full-height doors the quality of the project is reinforced. The bathrooms feature sophisticated warm porcelain wall tiles, cove lighting and concealed services. The basin and WC are integrated into full-height mirrored joinery units that are built into the walls, creating large volumes of storage without the appearance of bulky joinery.

The iron bronze trims and fixtures reinforce the timeless aspiration and marry with the door furniture used throughout the building. The kitchens combine Dekton with marble benchtops, integrated appliances and understated clean, modern detailing. This includes many finer quality details such as handle-free joinery, tailored benchtop details, thick cupboard doors, and linear bar grills concealed behind stone, which reinforce the quality of this development. The apartments can be customised to different degrees. Upgraded appliances and timber flooring is available on request. There is dark or a light kitchen scheme, as well as two configurations – one with a cooktop within the joinery and the other with a cooking space integrated in the island bench and additional storage behind. At Smart Design Studio, we have a philosophy of “architecture from the inside out”. On Twenty Hall, where good planning is married with great sustainability initiatives, this could be extended to “architecture from the inside out and from the outside in”.
