A quintessential modern new build in Palmerston North, designed concept to completion for a blended family. Centred around a pool that anchors the home's social heart, the design balances connection with independence across generous communal and private zones. The interiors are where the project truly comes alive - layered with pops of colour, sculptural curves, contrasting textures and moments of unexpected detail. A compelling demonstration of how considered design thinking and strategic material investment can achieve a high-end, bespoke outcome without relying on expensive finishes alone.

Bespoke joinery including a custom television unit and integrated office cabinetry blend seamlessly into the architecture.

Two socialites from Wellington sought new career opportunities in Manawatu, opting for a slower lifestyle on a picturesque property with a private pond. Their vision for the home was clear: a welcoming haven for entertaining friends with spacious, conversational furniture layouts and a central kitchen acting as the heart of the house. Emphasising warmth and brightness, they opted for a textural palette of whites across all design elements, ensuring each space exuded a cosy yet contemporary feel.

A young group of entrepreneurs, came to us with the concept of starting a noodle restaurant.  The brief - a friendly, energetic, and dynamic atmosphere. The challenge - a super small budget.

The kitchen design maximised storage space, providing organised and accessible areas for all essentials while enhancing the aesthetic appeal. By reconfiguring the layout, we also established a harmonious connection between the kitchen and the living area, creating a natural flow that brought warmth and cohesion to the entire home.
