AI summary

Sarah Hopkinson's Auckland apartment masterfully combines living and work with a warehouse industrial style. The space, a former band practice room, was gutted to an empty shell, which she has gradually adapted.

As a renter, she focuses on movable investments. The apartment doubles as a gallery for client viewings, intentionally maintaining a light-industrial and adaptable feel. This unique setup allows her to live with her personal art collection while sidestepping the 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?
