Designing a Minimal Apartment for Calm Living (Apartment Tour)
Designing a Minimal Apartment for Calm Living (Apartment Tour)
Cremorne Point Apartment by studioplusthree is designed as a contemporary, minimal apartment. Located in the Sydney harbour-side suburb of Cremorne Point, the small apartment is defined by its picturesque views of the bay and the city beyond. The architecture and interior design were crafted around a brief to bring in a sense of light within all aspects of the home, coupled with minimalistic stylings and furniture pieces.
The minimal apartment focuses on circulation and utilises space to its most functional potential. The architecture is based around a central core, which houses bathrooms, storage and the kitchen. This circulation loops all aspects of the interior and allows the living spaces to link and branch off towards the balcony. In the living room, minimal furniture pieces face out to the views beyond.
The small apartment cleverly incorporated features – such as the bronze mirror at the front of the dream home – to open up the closed spaces and make it feel larger. Features like this make the minimal apartment feel uninterrupted, especially as the architecture conceals elements within joinery, in keeping with the simplistic interior design aesthetic.
Treated as both an urban retreat and a social family home, the small apartment uses natural materials, expressed in a minimalistic way. Natural, pale oak timbers, porcelain and aged bronze speak to the repose of the minimal apartment. Addressing a broader conversation of the imprint of time, the aged bronze has a living finish that changes with usage, adding a personalised embedded element within the interior design of the home. The materials of the minimal apartment have a sense of softness and tactility that respond to touch and human presence, as well as serving the purpose of bringing light deeper within the interior.
The architecture is simple and understated. Each individual item and piece of furniture has its place within the dream house. The once closed-off plan is now open, allowing the kitchen and living areas to experience calming views and light.

I guess I’m the only one who liked the music? Audio seemed fine with my headphones. Also, the design of this apartment is incredible and love the furniture as well.
I don’t see anything special here
Where did you buy the dining table and chairs?
That hallway needs lighting. It’s shocking how dark it is.
Amazing, calm, beautiful! I love the videos of this channel, it is a highlight of my week to watch the new ones 🙂
I recognised recently that the background music and voice audio sometimes are out of balance with the actual voice being too silent and the music too loud. Maybe it is me?! But I didn’t recognise it in earlier videos. Would be the final touch to perfection to check it.
While this project tries to apply the principles of minimalism (in art) in their architecture, it has nothing to do with how i would create a "minimalist" apartment.
This reminds me too much of "Berlin Bauhaus style"…..
i love it! side note: the music on this video was very distracting/took away from the designers explanations
where can I get the bedframe?
Simple but not simple 👌
Love the considered floor plan here and the consistent application of the lighter oak timbers throughout. Very well executed and well captured.
I love the video but the background music is too loud so I had a hard time to focus on their explanation
Favorite home on this channel so far! I have a shower drain like that and it constantly clogs with hair but I get the feeling the previous owners/contractors in my home just saw a shower like this in a picture and didn’t understand how to properly build it. Wonder how they solved that issue here. Otherwise love the heavy use of wood and clean lines, wish I knew how much this costs so I could see if it’s feasible for my own 1br apartment. Maybe I’ll just drive an old beat up car forever but have an amazing home!
Someone explain where this ‘negative’ or ‘positive’ space is please.
L O V E it
Wow, another amazing video of stunning minimalistic japandi design and architecture from the Local Project. Big kudos to the editing/music as well 😍
Such a big inspiration for me as a designer and 3d artist 👏
never too small brings me here
Oh I truly love this light ship , as one feels lifted and part of the light surrounding the harbour. Having utilitarian objects put away for me is something ingrained , as my father was an architect and my mother wanted surfaces to create. Thank you. Watching again and sharing out. Nice finishes.
I love it!
Looks out of place in Sydney. A very northern hemisphere feel here but each to their own
DAMN
Great design. But terrible uptalking both of them. Do younger people all talk like that now?
Wow
Nice video but again the music with the voice over is to much
Great video. Just one critic, I just think the music towards the end was a bit too loud, it was overpowering his words.
Beautiful straight cuts yet simple with taste.
this apartment is absolutely stunning
No soap in the bathroom, no towels, no signs of people living there. Very minimalist but not livable. No feeling of human life and very "woke" cliches of connection to I don’t know what.
Dream house
Un avre de tranquillité
This is awesome, would be cool to convert an inter building to something of this spec
I loved this and would have liked to enjoy the calm ambience but… the music was so loud and distracting.
Great video but turn down the music please!
Great place but the sound editing needs work. Music need to be faded back. It’s competing with the dialogue.
The music really bothers the good ambiance
Love it love it…..
Love the minimalist look. Nice view outside!
But that music is so loud!! It overpowered the designers’ explanations..
why harsh music when people are talking. Very annoying
the back sound is way too loud. i barely can hear what these people say
what a lovely apartment!!! Exacting finishes!!!!!
Very beautifully done. So tranquil.
However, I wonder how many trees were used in the process.
Beautiful!
Love the video but the music level is too high. It’s hard to hear the interviewees 🙁
This is beautiful.
Music is too loud to hear him.
The alleged eyeliner normally bathe because ambulance atypically level down a thirsty fahrenheit. ashamed, evasive fiction
The beauty in having living finishes on timber, oak, and brass is that as the years go by, their colours age in hue. It’s like having small cosmetic renovations as cooler tones get warmer and darker tones get lighter. A very subtle zen transformation.
i thought it was marie kondo from the thumbnail preview XD
soo beautiful and calming!
Love this, curious to how much a project like this would cost. Any ideas?
Love the subtleness of the lighting on this one.
That’s called dwelling in you head. That isn’t a livable, comfortable home.
