Clifftops.

Award-winning home on clifftops, harmoniously blending with volcanic landscapes, featuring intimate spaces, unique finishes, and a welcoming atmosphere, designed to showcase a significant art collection.

This award winning home is nestled on the clifftops between two volcanic landmarks, Lake Pupuke and the majestic Rangitoto Island. The surrounding organic forms influenced the home's interiors.

Our client has a significant art collection and the home's architecture is a sculpture in its own right. We successfully created intimate spaces despite the almost overwhelming sense of scale. We filled the vast areas with textures in both surfaces and in form, customising unique finishes and adding warmth and a sense of welcoming.

Recognised for interiors that embody enduring sophistication and layered materiality, the studio is known for harmonising architecture, lifestyle, and detail. We take time to understand the rhythms of your life. How you move through spaces, how light shifts across your day, and what details bring you joy. From these conversations, we craft interiors that are not only beautiful but deeply attuned to you. Proportion, flow, and materiality guide every decision. Bespoke joinery, curated artworks, and tactile surfaces add depth and meaning, creating homes that feel unmistakably yours. “Design is not just about finishes. It is about presence, flow, and soul.”
