Mnemosyne Apartments
The Mnemosyne keyed back-to-back apartments have been thoughtfully designed to be used individually or as a collective. Fluted glass wall panelling has been acoustically double glazed and cascading floor length curtains are utilised to separate these spaces whilst retaining that important connection. These panels neatly tuck away contributing to a sleek and seamless aesthetic in order to open up and connect the adjoining apartments. The spaces have been designed with open-plan living in mind, facilitating seamless circulation suitable for entertaining, be it privately or between the two apartments.
​
The spaces evoke a feeling of luxurious tranquility that provides visual stimulation without overwhelming the senses. An array of natural stone and marble was selected to symbolise luxury, influsing the space with interest through it’s inherent colours and veining. Light oak flooring and contrasting walnut timber cabinetry strike a harmonious balance. Dedar’s Amoir fabric with it’s distinctly random, pattern repeats gracefully adorns the walls, enhancing the overall ambience and sensory delight.
​
The relaxation areas have been thoughtfully designed as retreats from the demands of everyday life, showcasing a captivating fusion of luxurious textures and sleek surfaces. Floor-to-ceiling cabinetry showcases ornate objects and striking stone features.
​
The kitchens seamlessly open up into the rest of the living space, incorporating a blend of curved and straight lines, achieving a harmonious equilibrium. These preparation spaces combine a blend of metals, including stainless steel and brushed copper, with warm timber cabinetry and silver travertine. These materials interact with one another and highlight various tones found within the natural stone.
​
The resting spaces emanate a calming atmosphere, incorporating earthy tones such as burnt umber and sky blue. The inclusion of metals adds sophistication, while soft furnishings provide comfort and facilitate relaxation. Luxurious marble elevates the overall aesthetic, creating a tranquil oasis.
