Kohi Point banner

Kohi Point was a fabulous project to work on - turning a newly purchased house into a family home.  The scope included not only selecting all furniture, art and decor for the interior and exterior, but also designing ways to make the home work better for the family.  Designing bespoke built in cabinetry was key to this.  While the owners did not want to extensively renovate immediately as they were keen to move into their hilltop paradise, they were happy to include new wardrobe/ desk systems, a built in office and floor to ceiling shelving in the living room.  Specifying furniture that will stand the test of time was essential, this family wish to live and socialise without being precious about their home.

What you will find on stepping into this beautiful Kohi project is a home that is furnished with respect to how kiwis live, with ease and a focus on family life.
