This Mt Eden villa had great bones and structure but improving interior flow and creating spaces that reflected our client were the main elements of our brief. We identified that a key obstruction to the interior flow was the wall at the end of the hallway which required a dog-leg entry into the open plan living space. This wall was removed and the new doorway provided the one entry point into the kitchen, living and dining area - taking you straight into the heart of the home. In addition, this provided a strong visual connection from the front door to the North-facing garden beyond.
The interior palette response was simplicity of materials & finishes - soft grey walls, stained timber veneer cabinetry, antiqued brass accents while black steel doors & balustrades formed key design elements. Spaces were personalised with wallpaper, rugs & wardrobe handles. Interior spaces are connected through feature black powder-coated steel and glass doors. The design of these doors was to blend randomness and symmetry through the use of different types of glass and different panel sizes. Their functional intent was to create light and open spaces.

at.space's ethos is that design is more than just pure creativity - it is considered, functional, and precise, as well as beautiful. We create spaces to live in, not just to admire, and our clients are at the centre of this process.
at.space was launched in 2019 by Alex McLeod and Tomi Williams. Working alongside each other as friends and colleagues for 8 years, we have realised the greatness of two minds over one, when creating beautiful spaces that work and matter for our clients. Combining forces was an opportunity for us to grow and continue to provide well-considered and debated design solutions. Or simply put; more depth, more capacity, more creativity and double the passion, for every project we touch."
Our experience designing interior spaces for large-scale renovations, new builds and commercial spaces spans over 20 years. Our growing team includes Kirsty Coultier (Studio Project Manager), Tori Gibbs and Victoria Gaylard (Project Support and CAD team).
