Modern mid-century…the architectural form gave the inspiration to this new build in Westmere by Landmark Homes. A warm white neutral backdrop with sculptural beams soaring to partitioned glazing lending light to the hallway, the large open-plan space is punctuated by a large kitchen with plenty of bench space for the client’s love of baking. Fully entrusting designer Andrea Burney, the client had an open brief on a tight budget to which practical materials with warmth, pattern & texture were applied. Timber grain units reminiscent of retro furniture ground the Bestwood and Prime by NZ Panels kitchen, with handles by Archant and tiles throughout by Tile Warehouse. Brought to life with greenery, both in living form and in the customised mural wallpaper, the stunning result offers a calming backdrop to a busy family. A custom-designed entrance tiling pattern by the designer added to the personalised mid-century feel of the home. The practical & stunning timber tiled floor throughout the living spaces has fooled many into thinking it is real timber and has made many a pet-owning visitor jealous!
