Set directly on Grand Canal Dock, this two-bedroom corner apartment enjoys an exceptional waterside position, with dual-aspect light and views across the dock from the main living space. Our redesign focused on making the most of that setting, creating an interior that felt warm, contemporary and distinctive while keeping the outlook firmly at the heart of the home.

We developed a new colour palette throughout, using soft neutrals as a calm backdrop alongside deeper, more expressive tones. In the open-plan living space, teal upholstery and warm blush accents subtly echo the colours beyond the windows, while a new textured pink splashback brings softness and character to the kitchen. Existing joinery was reimagined through colour rather than replacement, with shelving and cabinetry refreshed and rich green tones used to transform the main bedroom wardrobes into a considered design feature.

Furniture, artwork, lighting and accessories were carefully selected to create definition and balance within the open-plan layout, while maintaining clear sightlines towards the water. The bedrooms were given their own distinct identities through colour, texture and styling, creating spaces that feel calm, inviting and resolved.

The finished apartment feels brighter, warmer and more cohesive, with a stronger sense of personality throughout; a contemporary city home designed to complement, rather than compete with, its remarkable waterside setting.
