Not a maths problem but rather the look of the induction hob and accompanying ventilation in this kitchen, part of an extending renovation

An exotic veined Panda White honed marble stone splashback offsets this bold kitchen's use of cool black cabinetry and warm wood

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

Shaker-style cabinetry, natural elements/colours, hints of brass and earthy touches all combine to create a refined yet cosy family interior

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

This contemporary, whānau-friendly kitchen features adroit colour choices that help its stone benchtops connect with the wider interior

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 

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

Need a substantial island but sometimes need the floorspace more – this kitchen's relocatable island on castors caters to both scenarios

Backing this lake-side kitchen, the black slate mosaic splashback has a texture reminiscent of tuku-tuku panels or ripples on a darkened lake, or even fish scales

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

This ornate tapware looks suitable for royal pampering – Queen Cleopatra might have had it running with donkey milk and honey
