Westmere Residence
This compact family home was originally designed by Richard Priest and Susan Hillery in the early 2000’s. It has a well defined high contrast modern aesthetic. A protective shell of steel & darkened cedar surrounds the interior, that originally was very minimal with strong lines, crisp white walls and dark flooring throughout. The objective was to implement a softer space that complimented the style of the home.
With the children of the client out of the house, they were ready to make the space their own retreat but also to create a space to entertain friends and family when they come to visit.
From furniture to curtains and custom built-in pieces, all areas of the house were considered and changed to create a new elegant interior for years to enjoy that still captured the personality of the client.

About the
Professional
Kanat Studio is an Auckland-based interior design practice founded by Kate Pilot and Natalia Glucina. Specialising in bespoke residential and commercial interiors, we collaborate with architects and clients to create spaces that evoke atmosphere and reflect the essence of the individual or brand.
We believe great design is both beautiful and functional — it flows effortlessly, supports daily life, and elevates the experience of space. With a considered and collaborative approach, we guide each project from concept to completion, managing every detail with care and clarity.
At Kanat, design is a lived experience. We look at how people move, live, and feel within a space, designing for real-life rhythms. From spatial flow to the emotional impact of materials, every choice is made with purpose and intention.
Whether creating something new or transforming the existing, we offer full-service design, procurement, and project management. Our process is transparent, collaborative, and grounded in mutual respect — resulting in thoughtful, enduring spaces with character.
