Home kitchen bathroom commercial design
Heavy going
There are stairs and then there are craggy overhangs, and then there's both – the dramatic stair is one of many out-there features in this interior
A river runs behind it
An exotic veined Panda White honed marble stone splashback offsets this bold kitchen's use of cool black cabinetry and warm wood
Lively furniture?
This wood dining table in a wood interior features a 'living edge' table top – live edge tables preserve the natural and austere beauty of the tree
Finding gold in the jungle
Like gleaming treasure, these gold-look taps ideally complement and accentuate the emerald tile walls in this immersive bathroom
Sunlight and firelight
This pavilion roof is pierced with strategically placed skylights to maximise natural light while a Escea EF5000 fire is all set for cooler times
Copper & concrete
Copper-look tiles and taps create an edgy vibe in this bathroom while concrete table top basins are in tune with the semi-industrial vibe
Sense of balance
Shaker-style cabinetry, natural elements/colours, hints of brass and earthy touches all combine to create a refined yet cosy family interior
TeKāuta (cooking house)
This contemporary, whānau-friendly kitchen features adroit colour choices that help its stone benchtops connect with the wider interior
Desert dreaming
With wings to the left and right, a central breezeway reveals what this home is all about – eco-luxury that connects directly to the land
Light, white and spacious
Mirrors aren't the only design tool when it comes to growing the sense of space in your bathroom – this white, roomy design employs another
Wayfinder with a difference
This green-minded retail/office hub by Zaha Hadid Architects defines circulation routes and has a bladed facade that changes orientation to echo different outlooks
Growing your sense of space
A cantilevered vanity leaves the floor under it on show while a glass shower stall similarly shows more of the room – both moves making the bathroom look bigger
