BLUES POINT APARTMENT
BLUES POINT, SYDNEY

Blues Point Tower was designed by Harry Seidler and completed in 1962. Located in McMahons Point, close to North Sydney, the tower is 83 metres tall with 144 apartments over 24 levels. This waterfront apartment has panoramic views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Opera House and Luna Park and outdoor balconies on which to sit back and feel the serenity.

The deep, rich palette of charcoal greys and white and deep wooden hues in the interior evokes a sense of stillness, giving a calm and mindful ambience. In the living room, the abstract art, jewel velvet cushions and modern furnishings all add to a relaxed and free-spirited vibe. A floor lamp with a white shade provides task lighting for reading in the evenings. The fireplace is built from grey brick to create a sense of bringing the outside in. The black and gold marble TV wall adds drama and luxury into the dark living room, amped up by a wash of perimeter light. The green houseplants against the dark walls give this grey living room even more depth and drama. The delicate balance of the red velvet upholstery fabric on the armchairs and ottomans plays with texture to create a restful space to chill out and relax in. The huge windows accept natural light that plays over the dark silhouettes in the room and highlight a much lighter grey couch at the heart of the grey living room.

The black and gold marble TV wall is balanced out by a black and gold marble kitchen island on the other side of the room. The minimalist kitchen has no handles on the units, no visible extractor and only herb planters for decoration.

The kitchen is a dark and dramatic charcoal colour brightened only by strips of LED lighting. Above the kitchen island, three kitchen pendant lights hang from a brushed brass stripe that reaches up and over the entire central countertop.

The dining area has a picturesque window where you will find dining a treat, especially at night with the city and harbour lights as your backdrop. The dining table is boosted by a modern dining chandelier design, which makes an eye-catching addition to the dining area. The concrete plate wall in the entryway adds a hint of industrial style chic to this city apartment. The mirror on the right brightens the windowless entryway.

The master retreat has its own private balcony, walk-in robe and seating area. A bespoke dressing table is fashioned into the corner of the room, elegantly styled with a red velvet vanity chair and a beautiful amber glass vase. Shelf and rail lights brighten the walk-in wardrobe's dark palette. In the ensuite things get even darker. The walls are entirely covered in dark marble tile.

The overall look of the apartment is dramatic and layered. Each room is well-suited to the client's demands and interests, and makes full use of the view, due to thorough spatial planning. The high ceilings and huge windows provide a touch of elegance and magnificence to the room while allowing easy flow from one room to another.
