The Design Challenge

"Working within an existing historic building meant every single apartment was a completely different size and shape. While tailoring the FF&E to these unique layouts made it a highly challenging project, the positive outcome and bespoke finish for the residents made it incredibly rewarding. We provided a complete inventory for each apartment, carefully choosing modern yet robust materials and finishes to ensure durability without compromising on style."

Client Testimonal

Cliona and her installation team supported the fit out of our apartments, delivering a comprehensive furniture and furnishings package that helped us create fully equipped homes for residents at risk of, or experiencing, homelessness. At the outset of the project, Cliona engaged directly with our Support team to understand the needs of the residents and the operational requirements of the service. Using indicative floorplans and apartment layouts, Cliona developed a tailored schedule of furniture, furnishings and household items to ensure each home was practical, welcoming and ready for immediate occupation.

The package included everything from essential household items through to furniture, artwork and soft furnishings, enabling residents to move into a fully furnished home from day one. We found the team approachable and responsive throughout the installation process and appreciated their commitment to delivering a positive end result. The completed apartments provide attractive, well-equipped homes that support residents as they move into independent living.
