Rapberry Jam

In the heart of Canberra’s New Acton precinct, Raspberry Jam is a reimagining of a 160-square-metre apartment designed for a creative family of three. It is the result of a spirited collaboration between two Canberra-based studios: MYMYMY and NWE Interiors.

Rejecting restraint in favour of colour, atmosphere and joy, the renovation transforms a standardised interior into a home that is expressive, immersive and entirely personal.

Located in a Fender Katsalidis building completed in 2007, the apartment had strong foundations—high ceilings, full-height pivot doors and Venetian-rendered ceilings—but its neutral palette of greys and whites was at odds with the family’s vibrant personalities. The brief was clear: no minimalism, no white, plenty of colour.

Drawing on global influences from India, New York and Singapore, the design embraces eclecticism with conviction. Deep rose, saturated greens and blues layer the interiors, with custom burl veneer joinery, bronzed mirror and bold wallpapers reworking thresholds and reorienting rooms. A third bedroom becomes a guest retreat and library, while the main bedroom is softened with patterned wallpaper, burgundy carpet and an internal curtain for privacy.

Wet areas were redecorated rather than rebuilt, demonstrating how surface treatments alone can be transformative. Sculptural lighting, curated furnishings and a lifetime collection of books and artworks complete the space, creating a home that is sophisticated yet playful.

Raspberry Jam, is a celebration of individuality—confident, crafted and unafraid to be bold.
