Dunedin 2018

The Chamberson is a heritage listed industrial building, sitting boldly on the corner of Stuart & Cumberland. The interior by contrast is warm, tactile, intimate and human with suggestions of a previous life in the beams, plaster and brickwork, and original stone floors.

Being an old warehouse, and working with the existing structure and grid meant we had generously sized rooms with high ceilings and tall windows to match. Each room has its own story to tell, and has its own different gaze on Dunedin.

The Loft is the dining space on the rooftop - a light and airy room where much of the furniture is either designed by us or sourced from local makers or antique dealers. William Morris wallpaper features alongside paintings from Nom*D.

Scope of service; Overall planning in consultation with base build architects, full interior architecture for rooms and public spaces.
