Melbourne architect Adrian Amore made a swirling staircase the centrepiece of this minimalist loft apartment in a converted butter factory

Melbourne is known as Australia's coolest, most cultural city - and so it's the perfect setting for this stunning minimalist loft apartment, which occupies a former butter factory.

The apartment is the work of Melbourne-based architect Adrian Amore.

Walls sinuously move and bend through the apartment, with everything organised around a slowing sculptural staircase.

The staircase sits at the converging point in the space, twisting, and soaring up towards a recreational roof terrace which overlooks the city.

A monochrome palate of white on white with touches of charcoal and black makes the most of abundant natural light, which floods the apartment from generous north-facing window and a ceiling void.

According to the architects, the design of the open ground floor plan is defined by bending, wrapping walls which contain a bathroom, laundry and storage spaces. Sliding doors also help to make the space adaptable, depending on how the occupants choose to use the space, whether it be as a studio, bedroom or for entertaining.
