the inspiration

Upbeat and upscale pallette

The apartments have been designed to maximise space and light, and feature quirky internal curves that mirror the rippling flamingo-shaped rhythm of the façade.

Gleaming solid white floors (also tilted at a quirky 45-degree angle) are a sophisticated and understated design feature melding seamlessly into the warm white walls and matte white joinery with elegant black metal handles, edgings, and trims — cleverly bouncing the ample natural light around the rooms. The bright white floors extend right into the bathrooms, where traditional ‘Johnsons White’ small-format walltiles evoke the clean and sophisticated metropolitan apartments of upscale Berlin or Tokyo.

As a remarkable and unprecedented standard feature, The Flamingo’s kitchens offer the subtle ostentation of solid Sardo granite countertops, which fold-up and wrap into matching granite splashbacks. All of this sophisticated monochromatic restraint is joyfully juxtaposed against a pastel flamingo pink feature wall — simply because why not?

Flamboyant furnishings

Signatura commissioned Weylandtstudio to custom design a bespoke range of furniture to complement the building’s beautifully articulated and highly functional living spaces. Integrating the furnishings with the architecture allowed them to maximise the efficiency of a compact living area, which can be hard to do when owners bring in their own pieces.
