AI summary

Sarah Hopkinson's Auckland apartment masterfully combines living and working with a warehouse industrial style. The space, once a band practice room, now functions as her home and a gallery for showing art to clients.

Hopkinson values its light-industrial, adaptable feel over a domestic one. This unique setup allows her to enjoy a stimulating environment without fully entering the competitive Auckland property market. Most art pieces are from her personal collection and are not for sale.

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?
