A calming, warm space, oozing ‘Tropical Modernism’, Katie Lockhart champions celebrated architect Geoffery Bawa in this Ponsonby home. A spacious, perfectly formed kitchen overlooking a private pool, this is a place you never want to leave. The warmth of plastered walls, terracotta floor tiling, vintage Japanese textures and timber joinery take you to another world. Our Ionian bridge tap sits with restraint off to one side, adding quiet style and function to the abode.
