Renovation of 1930s property's kitchen preserves the home's original character while creating a modern and functional family space 

This Hawke's Bay garden is inspired by the Spanish style 1950s home it accompanies and offers a restful retreat for the busy homeowners

For this renovation, transition between refreshed existing home and new extension is achieved through thoughtful material choices and a wrapped round verandah

Delineated by deck and framing, this al fresco space creates a relaxed under the skies dining venue without interfering with the lines of the home

Graceful hanging material strips are backed by a mirror wall and matched with shafts of sunlight in this sophisticated master bedroom

Concealed lighting highlights the architectural nature of this sculptural tub – while a dedicated, low-set window highlights the outlooks

Breakfast bar, dining table, al fresco setting – wherever you sit you will be sitting comfortably and stylishly in this renovated home

In this long, linear kitchen, slimline detailing allows the dark-stained cabinetry to express as a pure and simplistic monolithic form

Continuing the home's celebration of wood, an elongated inset shelving display also accentuates the length of the already long space 

Want to cool down your interior? It's simple, walk to one side of the room and open the sliders, then cross the room and repeat

One wall in this apartment living space tells a story of concealed storage opportunities directly to hand and accessed with a push

Featuring a dramatic double-deck ceiling, this apartment's spacious living room allows guests to unfold in the utmost comfort
