My family of five, including 2 teenagers and Roxy the schnoodle.
Building a new home to our own design was a chance to create a home that not only practically suited the needs of our busy family, but was also stylish and stood apart. After spying a tranquil, Pohutukawa-fringed piece of land in otherwise built-up suburbia, we set to work to make it our own.
Being my own client I knew exactly what I liked - my design brief being to balance luxe glamour with urban industrial. I was also determined to prove that family-friendly didn’t have to mean boring!
The finished home features a moody, tactile palette of materials including distressed timber floor, metallic lacquer, antiqued glass and concrete look tiles, overlaid with layers of lush fabrics and furnishings. And in my opinion the home is cleverly cohesive and most definitely stylish. But it’s also an absolute joy to live in - the perfect blend of style and family function.
