"SEASIDE TRANQUILITY - A HAVEN WITH A TWIST" The design brief was to transform the property, located in a trendy coastal suburb of Auckland embracing a strong Balinese vibe. "We would like a home that is calm, serene, comforting, and natural with warm earthy tones. A place to come and relax in, using simple elements like timber, stone, concrete, rattan in strategic places, a feature entrance way, all building on a Balinese essence". Balinese design strongly believes in the power of nature, influenced by natural handcrafted textural materials like rattan and plethora of greenery. Our vision was to draw into the theme with a simple modern twist. Although the predominant footprint of the home could not be varied much, we managed to add and orientate the spaces to dramatically enhance the property. Photography credit: Tessa Chrisp

Locally made carved panels were designed to give the Batik block effect on the front door, metal cutout mesh panels instead of the traditional rattan broke the floor to ceiling cabinetry along with timber batten, Solid Oak timber flooring stained to match the colour palette, honed and sandblasted stone surfaces as strong elements in the hallway with edge lit shelving for artefacts, marble pebble mosaic sourced from Bali in the ensuite, grasscloth wallcoverings made with silky strands of abacá woven to create a beautiful distinct rich textured handcrafted material, solid wooden battens to ceilings, linen soft furnishings were all resources we tapped into to give a nod to the traditional Balinese theme.

The spaces have been deeply curated in its soul, making it refledive and sociable. The transition from living areas to the poolside, gliding across natural hardwood timber floors, beautifully honed stone and files leaves you with a sense of serenity, as you drift through the earthy palette throughout the property creating a spiritual energy... a truly "Balinese Oasis".

“We have worked with Mandala Design for our new flagship bridal store throughout 2017 and early 2018. During this time, Devi helped us from the concept design, development design, construction document, to source all the material including flooring, joinery, lighting, furniture, colour schemes, plumbing fixtures, decorative items and all other aspects of our interior design project. Devi listened to our ideas, but also brought her own original thoughts to the table, creating a timeless look for us in our new store. It is notable that Devi always kept our budget in mind and came up with a creative solution that not only kept our costs down, but also helped our store stand out among other bridal stores. Furthermore, she worked effectively with the suppliers and traders, always making time to be available to get the job done efficiently and professionally. We highly recommend Mandala Design for any job in the interior design industry. We continue to employ them when we need to, and have the utmost trust in their continuing to do excellent work.”
