An apartment that needed more than a cosmetic update
The kitchen, bathroom, laundry and wider interior were all below the standard the new owners wanted to live with.
Their brief extended beyond replacing tired finishes. They wanted the apartment to work more comfortably, feel considered throughout and express their own sense of style.
Because the work reached across most of the interior, each decision needed to be made with the whole apartment in mind.

The project needed to improve the rooms the owners would see every day and the essential work behind them.
The refurbishment reached every part of the interior
One Stop Renovate rebuilt the kitchen, bathroom and laundry, then coordinated a complete electrical rewire, new internal doors and full interior painting.
Completing the room renovations and underlying upgrades within one project allowed the apartment to move forward as a whole. Lighting, power, doors, walls and finishes could be resolved alongside the spaces the owners would use every day.
This broader scope was important in an older apartment where isolated improvements would have left other areas behind.

The owners’ design direction gave the home its identity
The clients brought a strong eye for materials, colour and detail. One Stop Renovate worked closely with their direction to turn those ideas into a practical and carefully finished interior.
Their selections introduced contemporary warmth while remaining suited to the apartment’s Art Deco character.
The completed St Kilda East home feels personal and settled. It reflects the owners’ style rather than following a standard renovation formula.
