Bukit Bintang Apartment

A 105 m² apartment on an upper floor of a residential tower in Kuala Lumpur, surrounded by towers and greenery. Large black-framed windows let in the evening light, and a covered balcony, clad in wooden slats, extends the living room like an extra small room.

The palette is light and warm: large greige floor tiles run from room to room, sandy veined marble covers the kitchen island and basins, and walnut lines the kitchen and furniture. The bedroom is punctuated by a wall of slats lit with ribbons of light, and the bathroom, in stone with a walnut vanity, opens onto a glazed shower.

Olive green, echoed by an armchair, the cushions and the throw, is the only colour accent; matt black outlines the taps and frames, and plants soften the room.
