The fantastic team at KCore Pilates entrusted us to design the fit out of their second reformer pilates studio, in the B Hive building at Smales Farm on Auckland’s North Shore.
The brief called for a highly functional space with a high end feel, where class goers could work-out and feel connected to the exterior, without being on display.
We responded with a black, white, & brass aesthetic, with tactile and textured surfaces and materials, spatially composed around delineated forms, circulation routes, and visual sight lines.
A space for a hard work-out on the body, while going easy on the senses.
First and foremost - we're here to help you.
We see every project as an opportunity to change people’s lives for the better. Whether that be by: creating a home as a haven where the family feels safe, secure, and connected; a small handcrafted detail which generates a smile in a stress filled day; or an interesting spatial configuration which makes life just that little bit more enjoyable.
Each building, interior, hardscape, or object presents its own challenges, and necessitates a specific and carefully considered individualised response, to produce a high quality outcome specifically, and beautifully designed for context and purpose, regardless of typology, scale, or budget.
Our practice was established in 2006, as a multidimensional design studio, and our values are underwritten by the intention to deliver works of a refined and crafted nature. We’ve won a number of awards over the years for what we do, and our small team strives to exceed client expectations by challenging common responses and standard practices through the innovative manipulation of materials, techniques, light, and space.
We love getting engrossed and involved in design challenges, and enjoy the process of collaborating with all parties involved, to carry a strong initial concept and common goal through an enjoyable and memorable process, to realisation.
We do what we love; we love what we do; and we’d love to show you.
We're out to save the world; one home at a time.
