In this week’s episode, Michael and Mabel introduce their home, a top-floor unit in a 1930s three-story walk-up. Surrounded by nature, the couple moved in a year ago, appreciating the blend of an older building style with their lifestyle.
Their two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment spans 1,340 square feet, featuring high ceilings, large windows, and ample storage.
Homes like this are as much about the property underneath as the design on top. The right layout, block and tenure make renovations like these possible, or much harder to achieve later.
That's often where we help readers: evaluating the property first, before committing to a big purchase.
Over time, that's also why we decided to work with agents who shared the same data-driven and advisory-led approach behind our editorial, consultants who could help readers think through decisions more objectively, rather than simply push transactions.
Today, the team has worked with more than 2,000 clients across over $5B in property transactions.
The interior is designed around their “mid-century kampong” aesthetic, a blend of vintage and rustic elements.
The open-plan living and dining areas foster social interaction, with the living room intentionally free of a TV, focusing instead on conversation.
Their vintage furniture, mostly sourced secondhand, reflects their love for treasure hunting, complemented by reupholstered acorn chairs and a custom-built coffee table.
Artwork collected from their travels enhances the space, adding personal and global narratives. The balcony, at the tree line, offers a tranquil, forest-like retreat, ideal for morning coffee and hosting gatherings.
Their kitchen, notable for its spaciousness, allows the couple to cook together comfortably.
The apartment’s decor, including a mix of dark taupe and bright red walls, adds intimacy and vibrancy, aligning with their eclectic art collection and evolving style.
