A contemporary apartment in Grey Lynn featuring generous ceiling heights and a blend of raw materials, complemented by bespoke furnishings and industrial accents for a refined yet warm living space.

The generous ceiling height and raw material textures in this recently completed building allowed us to play with scale and materials in a way more traditional interiors might not allow in this Grey Lynn apartment.  

For our client we added wool/hemp blended drapery and linen sheers which accentuated the simplicity of the surfaces but softened them at the same time. We furnished the . dining area with a warm oak bespoke table and matching long bench seat. Around this we added a set of Plank moulded plywood and wool chairs and sat them all on a pure wool custom designed rug. The Kartell Smartwood wing chair helped to bring contrast within the material palette.

The sculptural forms of the furnishings bring a balance against the rawness of the walls, drapery and floors. Lighting and accessories with a slight industrial aesthetic by Normann Copenhagen complete the areas by adding touches of refinement against this rawness.

“We have engaged Robert as a interior architect for our Newmarket (2014-2015) and Wairau Valley showrooms (2015-2016). Robert delivers on time and does not overpromise. He bills for his work on time and as per the schedule and quotations/estimates. He sees the projects through to their end and follows up after the completion. Robert conducts himself very professionally. He is very approachable and transparent and it is easy to follow through each stage. We hold Robert in very high regard and would not consider using anyone else for our design projects.”
