Auckland

What and exciting project was this! This 1950's brick home was transformed from a dull space to a Modern Contemporary home with a soft and organic edge.  Giving it a Scandinavian touch and subtle luxury.

The property is standing out with its clean, light and functional spaces that flow​ into comfortable rooms. A gentle use of colour is introduced to define and enhance the overall mood with emphasis on soft, natural textures and tones.
