For this project, the whole design of the built and green space is influenced by the impressive remnant Puriri tree that exists on the site.

The entranceway to the house is framed by a river-like water feature that passes underfoot as you approach the front door. This living entranceway connects you with nature with birdsong from within the Puriri tree and bubbling water flowing underneath.

This was an extensive design that champions native New Zealand plants and ecosystems.

We are Kohe Design.

Our name comes from the tree which is predominant within the place where we live, work, and design. We understand the role nature plays in shaping how you live and how you experience the world, and it’s this understanding that shapes how we design. We are based in Auckland, New Zealand and have designed and seen to completion projects around Aotearoa and beyond.

Our approach to landscape design goes beyond aesthetics; we prioritise spatial functionality, ensuring that every project is not only visually captivating but also practical and sustainable. We collaborate closely with our clients, understanding their needs and preferences to craft bespoke designs that reflect their lifestyles while enhancing the natural beauty of the environment. We have extensive experience in hardscape, planting design, restorative design, and construction management.
