Intimate Living
Adhering to the local architectural context, the home gracefully integrates into the landscape by descending from street level, creating a sense of drama to the entrance. The footprint cleverly incorporates small, angular gardens and decks, complemented by the natural backdrop of established neighbourhood trees.
Inspired by a desire for intimate living spaces, the interior design adopts a “broken-plan” concept, featuring interconnected yet distinct zones. A sunken lounge, a partitioned dining sideboard, and cozy nooks are just a few areas of the home that feed into this unique design. The use of colour-blocking and bold patterns, like the graphic olive and white Mutina tiles at the entrance, infuses the home with warmth and character.

A Nostalgic Sanctuary
Every detail, from cabinetry to accessories, was meticulously chosen to evoke a nostalgic ambiance reminiscent of mid-century British design—a tribute to the client’s grandmother. This sentiment extends to the careful selection of materials, such as Mutina tiles that transition seamlessly from the entryway to the kitchen, evoking a retro “milk bar” aesthetic.
In the kitchen, inspiration from fashion’s colour-blocking techniques is evident, echoing the vibrant styles of Missoni and Diane von Furstenberg. Bankston hardware was selected for its distinctive circular motifs, adding a playful yet sophisticated touch to the overall design. Super Collection’s Supermoon Pull Handles and Zzzigurat Door Knob on Oval Backplate has been incorporated throughout the design.
Recognised most recently with a Homestar for Design and Construction New Zealand’s leading holistic sustainability certification, this project exemplifies thoughtful urban living that harmonises with its surroundings while embracing timeless design principles.
