Boutique Dental Practice

This design was a finalist in the International Dulux Colour Awards – Commercial Interior.

 

The Dental Practice is in Clevedon, an area renowned for polo and other equestrian pursuits.

The Dentist said that he would like his practice to be ‘the worst kept secret in the community because of its individuality’. He did not want the look of a mainstream dental practice, but he did have a tight budget.

Colour, pattern and texture were seen as economical means of creating impact.  Donna specified a toothbrush floor lamp, cork floor tiles laid in a plaid pattern, leather, tartan and Donegal tweed upholstered furniture, industrial tables and lamps to create an up-market equestrian ambience.

“Donna was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was open to our thoughts and ideas, as well as those of our brand manager.

The result was 1st class and a true collaboration that can only be achieved when working with someone of such high calibre and a master of her field… 5 stars.”

About the
Professional

Donna is a Professional Member of the Designers Institute of New Zealand (PDINZ).

Donna studied full-time at Inchbald School of Design in London (affiliated with the University of Wales), and graduated in 2002 with a PGDIP in Architectural Interior Design.  She is one of a few New Zealanders to have received this qualification from this prestigious design school.

Working in Europe…

After graduation, Donna chose to stay in the UK to take advantage of exciting work opportunities.  These included a 50-room Spanish Hunting Lodge (formerly owned by the King of Spain, now owned by a member of British Aristocracy), conversion of a redundant 18th century church into a contemporary home, and the design of a child’s playroom for the children of a Saudi Prince.

Back in New Zealand

Donna returned to NZ in 2005, and quickly established herself as an Interior Designer with a difference – her design philosophy being ‘Classic Design with a Twist’. 

She works with a deep knowledge of the principles and elements of Interior Design, and believes it is her professional responsibility to keep abreast of new product and innovations.  Her skill in asking a client the right questions, and turning their dreams into reality is only possible by her ability to listen.   Strong follow through and documentation support her work practice.  Please see client testimonials under ‘Projects’ on her web page.

Donna provides her clients a full interior design service throughout New Zealand from her base in Auckland.  Please see her website for a full description of the Services she provides.

For three consecutive years she has been a finalist in the Dulux colour awards in both commercial and residential categories.  This is a competition open to both architects and designers throughout Australia and New Zealand.

She has also been a finalist in the New Zealand House and Garden Best Interior awards in the categories of Best Living Room and Best Bathroom.
