Macfarlane Design

About

Macfarlane Design is a family-run interior architecture and design studio based in Auckland. We design residential and commercial interiors in buildings from all eras. Focussing on the context of the building, its site and location, our endeavour is to create spaces relevant and appealling for today and durable into the future.

We strive to bring a timeless authenticity to our projects by paying close attention to and enhancing existing characteristics. By subtly contemporising them with appropriate new elements we bring about the most effective and memorable result for you, the client.

Testimonials

We have engaged Robert as a interior architect for our Newmarket (2014-2015) and Wairau Valley showrooms (2015-2016). Robert delivers on time and does not overpromise. He bills for his work on time and as per the schedule and quotations/estimates. He sees the projects through to their end and follows up after the completion. Robert conducts himself very professionally. He is very approachable and transparent and it is easy to follow through each stage. We hold Robert in very high regard and would not consider using anyone else for our design projects.

In the course of the last ten years I have engaged Robert on three projects for my Grey Lynn townhouse. In each case I have appreciated his understanding of my requirements, the range of options he identified for realising my requirements and his pragmatic approach to delivering the chosen options. Robert has delivered to my briefs effectively, and any variations in cost or budget have been raised early with options on how to move forward. One thing I really like about working with Robert is his sensitivity to history and context. My townhouse was built in the 1950s and Robert has always come up with solutions which deliver to modern living requirements but are in keeping with the ethos of the house.
