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 Studio is an Auckland-based interior design practice founded by Kate Pilot and Natalia Glucina. Specialising in bespoke residential and commercial interiors, we collaborate with architects and clients to create spaces that evoke atmosphere and reflect the essence of the individual or brand.
We believe great design is both beautiful and functional — it flows effortlessly, supports daily life, and elevates the experience of space. With a considered and collaborative approach, we guide each project from concept to completion, managing every detail with care and clarity.
At Kanat, design is a lived experience. We look at how people move, live, and feel within a space, designing for real-life rhythms. From spatial flow to the emotional impact of materials, every choice is made with purpose and intention.
Whether creating something new or transforming the existing, we offer full-service design, procurement, and project management. Our process is transparent, collaborative, and grounded in mutual respect — resulting in thoughtful, enduring spaces with character.
