The Proper Residences
In a captivating twist of fate, Amity Worrel & Co.’s path intertwined once more with a cherished client we had previously collaborated with on the exquisite renovation of their Hyde Park family home. Now empty nesters, the couple found solace in the vibrant pulse of downtown Austin, taking up residence in the prestigious Austin Proper Residences tower. Eager to infuse their new urban abode with the same warmth and elegance that characterized their family home, we embarked on a renewed journey to transform their living space into a sanctuary of comfort and style.
The challenge of the sleek, modern lines of the new apartment lay in its ample windows, offering panoramic views but limited wall space for the display of the client’s cherished art collection. In response, we crafted a striking screen wall in the living room, not only providing a dedicated hanging space for artwork but also introducing an element of privacy and delineation to the open-concept floor plan. Enveloping the space in rich wood tones, we added a touch of natural warmth that harmonized with the building’s contemporary aesthetic, creating a sense of timeless elegance.
Drawing from the client’s fondness for the bespoke bookcases created in their Hyde Park residence, we set forth to create innovative storage solutions tailored to their new urban lifestyle. Our adept Austin interior design team identified unique opportunities for built-in shelving, incorporating them seamlessly into the kitchen island, the living room entertainment wall, a library bookcase in the media room, and a practical Murphy-style guest bed surrounded by floor-to-ceiling cabinets in the home office. Extending the design language into the entry hall, we replicated the oat slat screen wall to provide coat hooks and discreet storage solutions, seamlessly blending form and function into a cohesive design ethos.
Guided by the client’s discerning eye for luxurious fabrics and textures, Project Manager Allison Beyer spearheaded the transformation of the space with a collection of bespoke upholstery pieces. From a personalized recovery of a family chaise lounge in the primary bedroom to custom ottomans in the communal areas and tailored wedge pillows enhancing the comfort of the Murphy bed, every element was meticulously crafted to elevate both form and function. The introduction of a wood veneer wallpaper in the powder bathroom and a textured cork wallpaper behind the living room built-ins further accentuated the natural textures, infusing the space with a sense of depth and comfort that invited relaxation and rejuvenation.
