This lovely home in East Tamaki had lots of potential, but also some challenges in terms of design and construction issues due to a curious number of odd angles that I needed to work around. Never daunted by a challenge, I engaged some of my best contractors and came up with some creative solutions for […]

This project is the perfect example of how a major downsize from a large family house to an urban apartment in Newmarket does not mean that you have to sacrifice a cozy homey vibe. We of course wanted to integrate pieces that they already owned and use colours and textures to bring in cohesiveness so […]

This contemporary kitchen space is simple yet highly functional. The colours and textures that the client and I selected were meant to complement their desire for an area free of design clutter for a very polished feel. The unique tile features add a bit of understated flair and were expertly installed by one of my […]

Having customers who are excited about colour is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. I completed this stunningly located apartment some 14 years ago so to be asked back to reinvent the space using existing and new furniture was a privilege. Re-configuring and installing a new kitchen and ensuite came with it’s […]

This space was just too much fun to create, mostly due to the owner’s unique and complete devotion to all things old related to New Zealand. She is constantly trolling antique shops and the internet for fun finds to add to her home. The challenge was how to pull all of these items together into […]

Home to busy kids and working parents, practicality was obviously a design goal. Still, they did not want to sacrifice the beauty of each room if favour of total utilitarianism. Accommodating the […]

I have a unique approach to their little corners of the world investing in things that will grow with them and supplementing designs with […]

Stunning – is the only word that comes to mind when not just describing this home but also its views overlooking Oriental Bay.

This old but awesome bungalow has views of the Sky Tower and Castor Bay so it’s no wonder the owners simply had to have it. They knew it would require major renovations to make it a perfect fit for their family and they were all-in to make improvements. This super busy family has three boys […]

This home is a total gem sitting on the natural utopia that is Herne Bay. Not only is the area lovely, this villa is a sprawling place that couldn’t be more ideal for a family of four with two kids (not to mention one awesome canine) that are always in motion. One of the key […]

This super cool home needed a bit of a refresh after it was purchased, as some major style elements were throwbacks to trends from decades ago. The house belongs to a family always on the go with small pre-school aged children so there is never a dull moment. Taking into account their lifestyle and the […]
