Upon entering the apartment, the living area is on the immediate right and the kitchen on the immediate left. The open plan allows the person entering to see the dining area beyond the kitchen counters. A balcony finishes off the apartment beyond the living room, giving a broad view of the golden beach and the rhythmic and relaxing sound of waves beyond it.
A short walk between the kitchen and dining area will take a visitor to three doors. The far left being the bathroom with an open doorway to the laundry just beforehand, the middle door holds a good size bedroom within it with built-ins and the far right has another bedroom, also with built-in robes. The first bedroom is used as such, but the second is filled with all the equipment Ian uses to film and edit his projects. There seems to be no order, with half-built computer rigs, unused monitors and old camcorders scattered about, along with all the wires and cables he'd require if he ever needed to use them.
The floor throughout the main area of the apartment is covered with a sand-colored large-format tile. The walls are a light blue and give a relatively 'beachy' feel. The bedrooms are decorated to the opposite, where the carpet is a light blue and the walls are painted sand-colored. On the walls are framed photographs that Ian has taken, mainly black and whites of unsuspecting beachcombers. The one that makes him happiest is of an elderly woman facing the waves, the wind causing her skirt and shirt to billow out, a plastic bag filled with seashells in one hand and her wide-brimmed hat in another. She's laughing and squinting into the sun, and in that moment she's young again.
The furniture is all new, cane and glass, the kitchen has all the modern conveniences, with a luxurious gas-cooker stove-top acting as the center piece. It doesn't get a lot of use, and if anyone were to peek inside the refrigerator (it's filled with takeout boxes) or cabinets (they're practically empty, save for mismatched dishes), they'd understand why.
