70 Robinson Road

The Brief:

An Australian-Hong Kong couple with two teenage children approached Apartmentary to remodel their apartment during one of the most demanding periods of family life. With a daughter and a son, the parents needed a home that supports mutual understanding while giving everyone space to breathe. The design prioritises calm, clarity and deliberate function so the family can regroup at the end of each day. From the entrance sequence to the private bedrooms, every element was planned around daily habits, storage needs and the desire for a refined, elevated interior.

Project Overview

Jump To:

Entryway

Social Spaces

Private Quarters

The apartment was reconfigured to improve flow, acoustic separation and storage efficiency. A semi-open kitchen, dining banquette and clearly defined private zone create a home that feels open yet composed. Custom joinery, carefully selected materials and restrained detailing run throughout.

Design Manager Jamie developed the master suite with particular attention to the couple’s relationship and routines, while the children’s rooms were tailored to each teenager’s habits. The result is a minimalist, elevated interior that functions as a calm and respectful family home.

Walk-In Closet

Bathroom

Entryway/Foyer

A bronze transition aligns with the door detailing to establish a refined threshold. A custom mirror incorporates a movable shelf for keys, integrated with LED lighting. Full-height rotating shoe cabinets maximise storage within a compact footprint. Seamless coat hooks are recessed so they remain visually invisible when not in use, keeping the entrance uncluttered.

Social Spaces

Living Room

Italian dining chairs sit around a banquette designed as the family’s main gathering point. The banquette supports shared meals and provides a grounded place to reconnect amid busy schedules. A wall mirror expands the sense of space. Minimal wall cabinets are finished in a paint colour matched to the surrounding walls so they recede visually. A dark wood bench beneath the window offers a secondary seating edge.

Social Spaces

Kitchen + Dining

The kitchen operates as a semi-open space. Tinted glass panels form a sliding door and swing window, allowing visual connection while controlling noise and odours. Curated handles and extensive custom storage keep surfaces clear. A wine cabinet and bar extension connect directly to the kitchen, creating a continuous zone for preparation and casual entertaining.

Private Quarters

Master Bedroom

Private Quarters

Children's Room

The master bedroom is designed as a private retreat with a quietly romantic character. Hidden LED lighting provides soft ambient illumination. A custom vanity desk and his-and-hers walk-in wardrobe finished in tinted glass were developed specifically around the wife’s routines. A wall niche offers discreet storage. The air-conditioning unit was relocated above the door to preserve a clean wall plane. Design Manager Jamie shaped each element with close attention to the couple’s relationship and daily habits.

Both rooms are planned for function and daily use. Custom desks were designed around each teenager’s personality, habits and hobbies. The daughter’s room includes a bedside vanity desk. Laundry-basket doors and specifically sourced wardrobe handles integrate practical storage without visual clutter. Materials and finishes remain consistent with the rest of the apartment to maintain overall calm.

Walk-in Closet

The his-and-hers walk-in closet is enclosed with fluted glass, concealing clothes and everyday clutter while allowing soft light to filter through. The vertical fluting softens the storage behind it, creating a calm, layered effect that feels both practical and refined. The result is a private dressing area with the quiet elegance of a hotel suite, where order is maintained without sacrificing a sense of openness or romance.

Bathrooms

Master Bathroom & Guest Bathroom

Guest Bathroom

A pushed-out ledge, finished in the same quartz as the kitchen, provides a dedicated surface for bottles while keeping the counter clear.

Master Bathroom

Travertine tiles cover the walls, introducing soft texture and warmth. The shower is generously proportioned. A pushed-out ledge offers practical storage for toiletries without interrupting the clean lines of the space.
