The Shanghai Gentlemen's Club banner

Nicknamed "The Shanghai Gentlemen's Club", this compact city home has a moody, exotic feel. One enormous bathroom was divided to create an ensuite for the master bedroom and retain an elegant guest bathroom – both ensuring consistency of the black themed décor with their matt beveled tiles. Feature "reeded" custom cabinetry plays a part equally as important as the strong masculine wallpapers in creating this unique urban escape.

About the
Professional

With a wealth of diverse international experience, Neil McLachlan is now recognised as a truly global interior design master. His non-prescriptive approach to designing sets him apart from many in the industry as he focuses on tailoring interiors to specifically suit the individuality of each client and their taste. 

From CBD apartments and offices to rural luxury lodges and significant private homes, Neil has been commissioned to design and furnish many exciting projects by clients in America, Britain, continental Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. 

Neil's skill set involves big picture master plans, architectural concepts for entire or partial buildings and their transformation. Interior specifications and detailing are documented to construction standard with project management as required. Very often custom furnishings are commissioned to ensure pieces are site specific and perfectly proportioned. His design philosophy was itemised in a NZ Life & Leisure article.
