Nestled in Rose Bay, Callie I is an incredible transformation of a 2-bedroom penthouse apartment. Originally marred by a poor layout and dark living spaces, the project reimagined the unit into a light-filled, open-plan haven with breathtaking harbour views. Challenges included disconnected living areas and inaccessible spaces, but innovative design solutions created separate sleeping zones, a new study, and even a secret door concealing the fire escape. The result is a social, inviting space that maximises privacy and showcases the stunning surrounding scenery.

"We recently purchased an investment property in Rose Bay. The property is very well situated with an outstanding view but was sadly in need of updating and renovation.
We were about to start the renovation work when we were lucky enough to be introduced to Nikki from Studio Coco. Nikki suggested quite dramatic changes to our plans and I can only say that we are eternally grateful for her input. She has entirely transformed the unit and has maximised room, space and views.
Nikki's enthusiasm, passion and energy is infectious and it was an absolute pleasure to work with her. Besides the plans and design produced by Nikki, she was also extremely helpful in dealing with strata and technical issues. Her advice proved invaluable. Thank you Nikki!"
