A humble yet refined rural home. Designed by award winning Architect Sophie Hammer, Sailors Grave has a deep-toned, carefully layered interior that draws on the rich tones and textures of the client’s collection of carved wooden bowls, traditional spears and other objects from their travels. Located in Sailors Grave Beach in the Coromandel, this home connects with its surroundings, bringing natural materials such as dark stained plywood, soft-toned vertical cedar boards and rough poured concrete, which form a simple and hard-wearing palette for living. The concrete vanities in the bathroom pair perfectly with the Buddy Aged Brass organic tapware, adding to the raw industrial design of the space. This beautifully designed home was awarded a Silver Medal at the 2022 Best Design Awards for Residential Architecture.

New Zealand’s most complete collection of tapware, basins, baths, toilets, and more. Meticulously curated, every piece is designed to complement the next—challenging conventions, pushing boundaries, and setting new standards.
With our homegrown spin on modernist and timeless aesthetics, we design architectural kitchen and bathware that seamlessly blend beautiful form with function. For over 30 years, a curious spirit has guided us—we push the boundaries of our craft while always keeping the human experience as our guiding light.
Designed and envisioned in New Zealand, and made with only the finest materials, we aim for a standard of craftsmanship and care that exceeds even our most diligent peers. We make products that are elegant, elemental and enduring, built to stand the test of time.
We believe that the spaces we inhabit have a genuine impact on our daily lives, and our commitment to innovative, design-led bathroom products reflects our dedication to enhancing the quality of these experiences. A beautifully designed bathroom is not just a functional space, but a place where people can find solace, inspiration, and rejuvenation.
