Emphasis on first impressions

Spaces are not just ceilings walls and floors, not just colours and how the light catches them. It is the complete picture that brings all the elements of the space together. What makes a house a home is its colour, its texture, the warmth of the carpet, the photos and artwork on the wall, the mementos of a family holiday or art pieces on display. The layering and composition of elements that reflect the different personalities that live in the space. The entrance sets the tone and style of the house and will be the first impression any guest entering it gets. We used strong colours to really bring the entrance to life. The feature wallpaper is Elitis Wallpaper Natives Maori. It runs floor to ceiling over two stories and provides the tone for the upstairs areas. The openness created by the floating staircase is credit to Miles Heine from Mccoy + Heine Architects.
