The Odyssey

Open-plan studio with a curved sofa, lounge chair and round black coffee table, the bedroom visible through folding white shutters and a galley kitchen beyond

A bland, grey apartment, given a true sense of place.

An addition to an eclectic portfolio of short-stay apartments, each made to feel like nowhere else. This one was grey and underperforming. New flooring, joinery, lighting, paintwork and wallpaper turned it into a one-bedroom that answers what guests are looking for now.

Textured wallpaper, oak and a terracotta bathroom bring warmth. Folding shutters let the bedroom open to the living space, or close it off for the night.
