Introducing Rangers Retreat, a charming modern farmhouse-style property nestled in the picturesque South Island countryside. Completed in the year 2023, this cosy cottage offers unparalleled views that are simply breathtaking. The design ethos of Entrance Design seamlessly blends the indoors with the outdoors, creating a harmonious living space that encapsulates the beauty of the surrounding landscape.
As you step inside Rangers Retreat, you'll immediately feel a sense of tranquillity and warmth. The interior design concept focuses on bringing the outside in, with natural elements and earthy tones that reflect the rural lifestyle of the estate. This single-house project showcases the expert craftsmanship and attention to detail that Entrance Design is renowned for, making it the perfect retreat for those seeking a peaceful escape in a stunning natural setting.
It takes a special kind of relationship to form a successful design partnership, as is the case with the dynamic duo behind Entrance Design, Claire Kingan-Jones and Nicky Tong.
Meeting at the Nanette Cameron Interior Design School, Nicky and Claire draw on their well-rounded experience and shared passion to create enviable and timeless interiors with personality and liveability at the core.
The design duo’s distinct sense of passion, energy and warmth, set them apart in an industry often perceived as intimidating and unapproachable – a misconception Claire and Nicky seek to change.
Combining their strengths, they have come up with a concept that makes the interior design process a fun and rewarding experience. With their client's unique personal style at the forefront of their designs, Entrance Design strives to create homes that ultimately complement and enhance lifestyles.
“Whether it’s a small room update or an entire home refresh, we provide cost competitive solutions with an emphasis on transparency throughout the process.” – Claire Kingan-Jones
“We understand every client is different and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. We can lead you step-by-step through the design process or, you can take the lead through our online service, drawing on our wealth of experience along the way,” – Nicky Tong
