Set on a quiet street off a bustling road in the heart of Yangon, this renovated colonial apartment has been designed with comfort and style in mind. Exposed brickwork combined with teak wood throughout the living space makes for an attractive design. Natural light pours from sky windows in the upstairs bedroom, which is connected to a mezzanine that has retained its original teak flooring. The stylish bathroom comes equipped with a large bathtub, and the property is protected from Yangon’s sporadic power cuts, with its own power backup system.

Leading downstairs is a spiral staircase that comes out onto an open-plan kitchen with an oven and dishwasher. The flowing is carbonised strand-woven bamboo flooring and the high ceilings not only cool the apartment but also give it a spacious feel.
