Contemporary Canterbury Home

By Twin Rivers Interiors

Profile
Contemporary Canterbury Home banner

An architecturally designed new build in rural North Canterbury; Ruth and Evan wanted a contemporary country home with a welcoming feel. What we achieved is a chic, understated, timeless interior with clean, crisp lines, quality materials and a warm and inviting atmosphere. We managed the building project together with the builder. 

Twin Rivers designed exterior and interior architectural details such as the staircase, cabinetry, fireplaces, shelving, skirting, solid timber beams, architraves, trims, window seats, TV placement, bathrooms including custom vanity, kitchen, and pantry. We specified lighting, window treatments, flooring, rugs and carpets, kitchen and bathroom materials and surfaces, tiles, paint and paint colours, fabrics for the re-upholstery of existing furniture and soft furnishings.

About the
Professional

Home is not about material things and a shelter, it’s about a feeling of identity and belonging — that is where your heart is.

Twin Rivers Interiors is a European influenced boutique and artisan interior design studio.

Nanda Rammers is constantly innovating in her interior design practice. She travels regularly to the foremost European design expos, sourcing the latest products and trends from the most influential designers in the world.

Her recent trip to Europe, especially Italy, was motivated by making connections with artisans in the textile industry. On her journey she also soaked in the style of living in the provinces, including those inspired by ancient archeological sites. She also spent time with local artists and sculptors, and in retreats. This has furthered her holistic approach to interior design and wellbeing.

She stocks an exclusive range of products from numerous New Zealand and overseas brands, trusting relationships she has built up over the last 10 years with Twin Rivers Interiors.

She has been Programme Leader of the Interior Design programme at Ara, Institute of Canterbury between 2018-2020. She has also recently transformed the residential and commercial interior design programmes for Ara and Open Polytechnic.

She is very much inspired by nature, light and colour, and uses this as an inspiration in her drawings and photography, which she has printed and framed as limited edition pieces.

Nanda is a fully qualified interior designer, certified to design your kitchen, bathroom, furniture, exterior, and interior architectural features, curtains and numerous other options for window treatments, colour and paint consultations, flooring, and lighting, and can also assist you with project management, together with an architect or builder.
