The best feeling as a designer is seeing every element come together as intended. Each material, finish and product has been chosen with purpose, considered not only for how it looks, but for the role it plays within the overall design.

Winter weekends are for cosy library moments.

Tucked into a mezzanine, this intimate library was designed as a quiet place to pause, read and retreat.

Dark stained oak joinery, warm leather and sculptural furniture create a richly layered corner that feels both cocooning and connected to the home.

Would you curl up here for the afternoon?

In Between the Lines — Finalist, Bathroom Category, HOME of Architecture Interior of the Year Awards 2026 HOME

I’m delighted to share that In Between the Lines has been selected as a finalist in the Bathroom category of the HOME of Architecture Interior of the Year Awards 2026 — my second finalist project in this year’s awards.

Designed as part of a new home in Te Arai, this bathroom explores the interplay of light, texture and material. A hand-finished plaster wall catches and softens the changing light throughout the day, while sculptural wall lights create a gentle glow against the textured surface after dark. Rich chocolate-coloured tapware, layered natural materials and carefully considered detailing bring warmth and depth to the space, balancing the strong architectural forms beyond.

A special thank you to my wonderful clients. 14 years ago, I worked with them on their previous home, and it has been incredibly rewarding to collaborate with them again on this next chapter. Being invited back by repeat clients after so many years is one of the greatest compliments a designer can receive.

Public voting is now open. Follow the link in my bio or in the comments to view the finalists, see more images and cast your vote. If you missed yesterday’s post, you may also spot my finalist kitchen project, The Tea House, in the Kitchen category.

This Parnell apartment kitchen was such a special project to work on — designed around cooking, entertaining, tea, storage and a love of beautiful materials.

Thank you to my truly awesome client and everyone involved in bringing this kitchen together.

Public voting is now open and I’d be so grateful for your support. Follow the link in my bio or in the comments to vote for your favourite and see more images of this project. You may spot another of my projects in there too — watch for my next post.

TIDA Finalist — Titirangi Kitchen

Thrilled to share our Titirangi kitchen has been named a finalist in this year’s TIDA Kitchen Awards.

This project was never going to be quiet.
Not afraid of colour, not afraid of form — and definitely not afraid to lean into the architecture we were given.

Set within its rainforest setting, the design responds directly to the home’s existing angles and lines. Rather than soften them, we enhanced them — allowing the geometry to become a feature, not a constraint.

The deep green palette anchors the space, creating a rich, immersive backdrop, while the sculptural fluted island introduces texture and rhythm. The veined stone from Infinity Benchtops was a key move — bringing a natural energy that ties beautifully back to the landscape.

Functionally, every detail has been considered. Even the freestanding fridge has been visually minimised by painting it into the joinery — allowing the kitchen to read as one cohesive form rather than a collection of parts.

What stands out is the balance between boldness and control. It’s expressive, but resolved.
Layered, but calm.

A kitchen that feels completely at home in its environment and completely unique to the people who live in it.
