Out of the past
A 1970s-inspired bathroom featuring custom stained oak cabinetry, wall-to-wall mosaic tiles, picture windows, and earthen tones led by an array of the owners' collected earthen pots and porcelain pieces
Cool and connected
The rear garden features a resort-style pool & cabana while the front garden celebrates a refined frontage complete with a translucent fence, modern gates and a glass-covered gatehouse – the connecting side passage is equally well considered
Respecting the past, embracing the future
A Victoria terraced villa is stripped back with classic elements reinstated – the design walks an elegant line between preserving historical character and modern upgrades – then there's the two-storey studio at rear
Quietly Californian
A quietly Californian vibe was required for this renovation – bespoke elements bring flow between spaces, with touches like Italian lighting, feature walls and a hidden powder room all part of the natural-vibe mix
Echoes of Arrowtown
This bathroom evokes the warm-toned vibe of historic Arrowtown – earthy tones, tactile finishes, and muted colour combine to create a dramatic yet calming space that feels welcoming, grounded and refined
Long sighted
Giant windows frame broad sea views in this fanned out, highly sustainable home constructed using precast insulated concrete panels – solar power and water recycling are just two green moves of many in this planet-friendly design
Big picture
Maintaining material consistency across a large space without creating visual monotony was a consideration for this kitchen – European White Oak served as the foundation, yet depth and variation were introduced through nuanced changes in texture and construction
Texture and tranquility
A modest-sized bathroom space is transformed into a tranquil spa-like retreat with a feature curved nib wall, custom vanity, tiled shower seat, and concealed storage
Indoor-outdoor flair
Reflecting the wider interior's Japanese principles of ‘Wabi-Sabi’, this kitchen boasts materials with a rustic simplicity – an indoor-outdoor counter 'passes through' the kitchen window wall to the outdoor barbecue
Dramatic reveal
Drama is built into the architectural bones of this house – two prominent stone tile walls enhances privacy and a narrow approach before one wall ‘swings’ open for a grand reveal of the intimate coastal connection
