Residential / Multi-Unit Furniture
The Wayland
Saint Petersburg, Florida
Project Overview
Modern Apartment Furniture Designed for More Than 400 Homes.
The Wayland is a residential development in the heart of Saint Petersburg, Florida, offering a modern approach to apartment living with an emphasis on practical layouts, contemporary interiors and efficient use of space.
As part of its renovation, The Wayland adopted a modern American interior direction, combining clean white cabinetry, classic Shaker-style doors and compact upholstered furniture designed for contemporary apartment living.
Lohabour contributed furniture solutions including kitchen and bathroom cabinetry, wardrobes, sofas and sofa beds. With more than 400 residential units, the project required a balance between design consistency, space efficiency, durability and cost-effective repeat production.

01 / Design Direction
A Modern American Approach to Apartment Living.
The interior concept follows a modern American design direction, combining clean architectural lines with familiar residential furniture forms.
White cabinetry creates a bright and consistent base throughout the apartments, while upholstered sofas and compact furniture introduce warmth and comfort. The overall approach is intentionally simple, allowing the apartments to feel contemporary without becoming overly decorative.
- 01 Modern American aesthetic
- 02 White Shaker-style cabinetry
- 03 Space-conscious furniture
- 04 Consistent multi-unit design
02 / Living Spaces
Compact Furniture for Contemporary Living.
The living spaces were designed around furniture that provides comfort without unnecessarily reducing the available floor area. Compact sofas, loveseats and sofa beds allow residents to create flexible living environments within the apartment layouts.
Fresh upholstery colours and practical, stain-resistant fabrics support everyday residential use while maintaining the clean appearance of the interiors. The furniture combines familiar American proportions with a more compact footprint suited to apartment living.
- 01 Compact sofa configurations
- 02 Space-saving sofa beds
- 03 Stain-resistant upholstery
- 04 Flexible residential use
03 / Kitchen
Classic Cabinetry with Efficient Apartment Planning.
The kitchen furniture combines a familiar Shaker-style door profile with a clean contemporary layout. White cabinetry creates a bright interior while maintaining a timeless residential appearance.
The kitchen arrangement uses a practical linear cabinet configuration with an integrated cooking area and island. This approach concentrates storage, preparation and cooking functions into a compact footprint while keeping the kitchen visually organised.

- White cabinet finish
- Integrated cooking area
- Kitchen island
- Space-efficient layout
04 / Storage
One Consistent Cabinet Language Throughout the Apartment.
The cabinetry concept extends beyond the kitchen. Bathroom cabinets and wardrobe elements follow the same colour and door-profile language, creating a consistent visual identity throughout the apartment.
Using related cabinet forms across different rooms simplifies the interior palette while helping create a sense of continuity. At the same time, integrated storage allows more of the apartment's usable floor area to remain open and flexible.
- Bathroom cabinetry
- Bedroom wardrobes
- Coordinated door profiles
- Integrated storage
- Space optimisation
Material & Finish
Practical Materials for Everyday Residential Use.
The furniture and cabinetry were developed around materials and finishes suited to repeated residential use. White cabinet finishes establish a clean visual base, while upholstered furniture introduces texture and colour into the living spaces.
White Cabinet Finishes
A clean white finish creates a bright and contemporary interior while working across kitchens, bathrooms and storage furniture.
Shaker-Style Panels
Classic framed-style door profiles give the cabinetry a familiar American residential character while maintaining a clean appearance.
Stain-Resistant Fabrics
Practical upholstery supports everyday apartment use while allowing sofas and sofa beds to introduce colour and comfort.
Durable Furniture Components
Furniture components are selected for repeat production, consistent quality and the practical demands of multi-unit residential environments.
05 / Shared Spaces
Furniture Extending Beyond the Apartment.
The Wayland's residential experience also includes shared and outdoor areas where furniture needs to support a different pattern of use.
Outdoor loungers, sun beds and garden furniture provide residents with places to relax outside the apartment, while bar stools and shared tables contribute to communal areas. These pieces complement the residential furniture package while introducing materials and forms suited to outdoor and shared environments.
- Outdoor loungers
- Sun beds
- Garden furniture
- Bar stools
- Shared residential spaces
Lohabour / Manufacturing
Designed for Repeat Production at Residential Scale.
A multi-unit residential project requires more than individual furniture pieces. Every cabinet, sofa and furniture element needs to be repeatable, consistent and practical to manufacture across hundreds of units.
For The Wayland, the furniture package combines standardised dimensions, coordinated finishes and efficient construction to achieve a consistent interior throughout the development while keeping the overall furniture solution commercially practical.
