Mantra Apartments Darwin NT

The refit of the penthouse apartment on Level 28 of Mantra Pandanas in Darwin, NT, presented an exciting opportunity to elevate an already luxurious space to new heights. The project encompassed a complete overhaul of the living zone, including new flooring, ceiling finishes, joinery, lighting, fans, and wall treatments. The goal was to transform this large penthouse into the best apartment in the city, offering an unparalleled living experience.

Corian® Solid Surface was selected as the material of choice for the kitchen island bench joinery. Its ability to be curved seamlessly around the design was a crucial factor, allowing for the unique and custom shape envisioned by the architects and interior designers. Additionally, the material’s durability and suitability for kitchen environments made it the ideal choice for the client. The colour range, particularly the use of Corian® Evening Prima was also a significant draw, as the client wanted a finish that would make a bold statement while retaining elegance and functionality.

This refit was remarkable in that it involved stripping the apartment’s existing fitout down to its core structure, a rare approach in high-rise refurbs. The rebuild with all-new finishes and updated services truly transformed the space. The project demonstrated the versatility of Corian® in both form and function, creating a flawless, modern look for the kitchen and other areas.

One of the standout elements of this refit was the ability to curve Corian® in two dimensions, meeting the architects’ and interior designers’ ambitious design goals. This flexibility allowed for a highly customised and fluid aesthetic in the kitchen, where the island bench became a central feature of the space, marrying form with functionality.

The project underscored the importance of material flexibility in achieving design objectives. The client’s satisfaction with the final installation reinforces Corian® as an outstanding choice for premium, custom interiors, particularly where high standards of design and durability are required.

The result was a living space that blends modernity with sophistication, ensuring that the penthouse remains a pinnacle of luxury living in Darwin.
