Creative Space Architecture
This house was designed within a new residential subdivision in Omokoroa. A square site of 400m² and a tight budget presented challenges which required some alternative design solutions.
Designed to accommodate a family of five, design emphasis was placed on creating a large, multifunctional family zone on the ground floor. The house is in a basic L-shape configuration which allows for a northfacing lawn. This lets the house recede from the street rather than dominating the section - a rare commodity in new, smaller subdivisions which are now becoming the norm.
The upper floor is a total kid zone. With three active boys to accommodate, the entire upper floor is essentially a loft with three bedrooms, a separate bathroom and a wide hallway-breakout space. The loft has been employed due to the requirement for the space but onerous planning restrictions meant that a full two-story house would have meant a total non-compliant solution. Centre-pivot open roof windows provide awesome airflow and light through the entire loft space.
This home has a smart but relaxed appearance: geometric forms clad in concrete bricks, board and batten cladding and bandsawn larch weatherboards. It’s compact but spacious and is warm, light filled and homely.
This is a new take on modern, suburban living that is a point of difference within a Greenfield subdivision that is otherwise filled with standard volume homes. The loft space frees up the building footprint to be smaller, which creates advantages in the form of improved energy efficiency and creating more usable land on the site. These aspects have been reflected in the recently updated housing CV’s which has this property valued significantly higher then the neighbouring properties all with the same sized sections.

Hello Home Interiors
The brief was to have a functional kitchen design that is beautiful with clean finishes and lots of additional storage. We designed cabinetry and wine storage on the living room side of the penninsula bench and an overhead cabinet to allow glassware to be accessed from both sides.

The existing apartment is a contemporary build which didn’t require any major changes to the structural layout. However, in order to feel more warm and inviting, the space needed to be uplifted with new flooring, painting, furniture, joinery and the addition of more personal features. Within the existing footprint, thoughtful furniture planning was required in the main living area to create defined spaces that flow and connect well to each other.

The ensuite bathroom in this victorian villa renovation features a softly textured zellige tile. The shower fittings were chosen to match the wall colour. The bathroom storage niche features wooden panelling with a pretty bobbin detail frame

An unused area of lawn has been repurposed as a meditation garden. The meandering path of limestone step stones weaves through a birch grove. The matrix planting of carex grasses is interspersed with flowering natives throughout the season. Fall is spectacular with the blooming of aromatic asters.

Small modern apartments benefit from a less is more design approach. To maximize space in this living room we used a rug with optical widening properties and wrapped a gallery wall around the seating area. Ottomans give extra seating when armchairs are too big for the space.
