Foley Villa, Wairarapa banner

Project Scope: The full refresh and rejuvenation of all interior aspects of the Foley Villa; private residence on the shores of the south Wairarapa coast.

Year: 2022

Location: Palliser Bay, Wairarapa

Foley Villa Sits At The Edge Of Rolling Farmland On The Wild And Windswept South Wairarapa Coast.

The client’s request was for an elegant, timeless interior that was infused with warmth and comfort, even on the bleakest of winter days.

We played with colour to create unique, individual yet harmonious spaces that are a contemporary twist on classic patterns and styles that are an inherent part of a traditional countryside aesthetic, and that compliment - not detract - from the everchanging vista outside.
