Our vibrant clients were renovating their beautiful bungalow overlooking the Auckland Harbour. We were tasked with creating an interior palette for their home that utilised texture and organic warmth with different finishes, while bringing in touches of glamour and colour. Our response started at the entrance of the home bringing in a custom designed timber feature wall that was juxtaposed with a painted black wall opposite. The timber wall wrapped into the living room to bring the spaces together and the new fireplace and TV cabinetry opposite was finished in a bespoke Velvetina render. The two wall treatments combine to produce an organic warmth to the main living area.

Glamour was introduced in the bathrooms and kitchen with marble mosaic tiles and Super-white granite bench-tops. Black tap-ware punches throughout to off-set the marble glamour elements. Picking up on the courtyards soft green planting we brought in Aaltos' Chevron to bring the outside in and create interior havens.

Favourite spaces for us are the bathrooms which are all unique and personalised - the downstairs bathroom is the kids haven and features marble with green vertically stacked subway tiles. A fun space. The upstairs ensuite re-introduces sophistication with white finger tiles and a custom mirror cabinet.
