By Shelley Ferguson Studio
This was a full renovation of a character bungalow in St Heliers, Auckland. While glorious in her day, this old girl was now in need of a total overhaul. I revised the entire floorplan adding an ensuite to the master bedroom, removing walls to create an open plan kitchen, reconfiguring the bathroom and transforming a mouldy downstairs laundry into a home office complete with a new internal stairway. Taking inspiration from the deco era when the home was built, herringbone flooring, statement stone, cut-glass chandeliers, textured fabrics, fluted glass and brass details were used to create a modern interior with a nod to tradition.
20 years experience as an editor and stylist on home, architecture and fashion magazines honed my knowledge of the industry and creative design aesthetic before training as an interior designer and starting my own studio.
What we do
The studio specialises in working with homeowners, builders and architects on new builds, renovations and furnishing projects. These projects require a high level of detail, planning and organisation and by offering an exceptional level of service we can save time, money and stress. Our ‘liveable luxury’ aesthetic combines chic contemporary design with classic detailing.
Services we offer
Each project is personalised to the client’s needs and services we regularly undertake include kitchen and bathroom design, cabinetry design, custom furniture, soft furnishings and upholstery, lighting, furniture and object sourcing.
How we work
We work directly with you to create an interior design aesthetic that adds value aesthetically and improves how you live functionally. We then work alongside tradespeople, builders or architects to bring your vision to life.
