AI summary

Sarah Hopkinson's Auckland apartment expertly blends living and working with a warehouse industrial style. The rented space, once studios, was transformed into an open-plan home and a primary-market gallery.

It serves as a functional venue for client viewings and events, intentionally avoiding a domestic feel. This unique setup allows her to enjoy a dynamic environment and a cherished personal art collection while staying outside of the competitive Auckland property market.

What was the space like before you moved in and what did you have to do?

Do you ever feel like you never leave work?

Are there any pieces you won’t part with or is it all up for grabs?
