AI summary

Sarah Hopkinson's open-plan Auckland apartment masterfully blends living and working with a distinct warehouse-industrial style. Formerly studios and a band room, the gutted space now serves as her home and a primary-market art gallery.

She embraces its adaptable, light-industrial feel for hosting clients and functions. This unique setup is a privilege that helps her avoid the competitive Auckland property market, creating a constantly stimulating environment where she lives amongst her personal art collection.

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?
