By Kanat Studio
The Rukutai Family Home project, completed in 2024, focused on transforming the 2000's modern home into a warm and welcoming family home. The client's requirements included increased storage and the need for multi-functional spaces, necessitating a thoughtful approach to design.
Existing white walls were to remain and character was infused through layered patterns, texture, colour in decorative pieces and warm oak timber. Bespoke timber cabinetry features throughout with design elements that complement the home's architecture. Overall enhancing the warmth and value of the home. The result is a harmonious blend of functionality and aesthetics, creating a space that is practical and enhances family living and socialising.
Kanat is an Auckland-based Interior Design studio specialising in bespoke Residential and Small Commercial interiors.
Good design creates a sense of ease, both in the process and the end result. It enhances the experience of space and makes it a joy to inhabit.
Aesthetics, atmosphere and practicalities are considered equally. The influence one has on the next produces a magic. That magic is felt through the memorable moments of simply inhabiting a beautifully designed space. It enhances our clients’ lives both functionally and aesthetically. And it flows from the things they hold close, that we are able to bring out and into the world with them.
We work closely with our clients to develop principles that will guide and inform their design, this process creates spaces that have intention and a true connection between client and design.
Our design experience spans apartment living, mid-high end residential, workspaces and retail interiors and offers design, procurement and project management capabilities.
