This lofty Auckland apartment nails warehouse industrial style
In her open plan Auckland apartment, Sarah Hopkinson has nailed warehouse-style living. She discusses her space.
AI summary
Sarah Hopkinson's Auckland apartment masterfully combines living and working with a warehouse industrial aesthetic. Originally studios and a band practice room, the landlord provided an "empty shell" which she has slowly adapted.
The space serves a dual purpose as her home and a primary-market gallery, used for client viewings and functions. She intentionally maintains a light-industrial, adaptable feel, enjoying the stimulating environment while avoiding full participation in the Auckland property market.

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?
