PERIOD HOME: SMART LIVING MEETS TIMELESS STYLE

THE BRIEF

A period home which was extended in 2012 needed updating for its new young family. The owners, well-travelled and design-conscious, wanted to brighten dark spaces while creating sophisticated areas for entertaining. Smart technology and storage solutions were key priorities.

OUR SOLUTION

We tackled the winter gloom with innovative lighting design - daylight-balanced LEDs concealed behind bespoke cornices create natural ambiance, while app-controlled systems allow precise mood setting.

In the living room, we embraced Japandi elegance, designing and making a statement drinks cabinet with sliding pocket doors, oak detailing, and bronze mirrors. The cabinet integrates a Fisher & Paykel Cool Drawer and wine storage, making entertaining effortless. A matching media unit conceals the TV behind a motorised lift, complemented by sculpted oak shelving. Bold cobalt sofas and a Moooi light fixture create drama, while a geometric copper-based coffee table adds warmth.
