This client purchased his “Skhy” apartment with impeccable design credentials and views across Auckland city. The robust architecture with concrete framing and the elegant interior finishes are resolved.

Our role was to recommend all new furniture and homewares that meet the architecture and reflect the occupant. Ensuring functionality in a smaller footprint is our beginning, starting with the spatial layout. Cathryn provided 2d and 3d images with 3 options for the main living area layout. Then did a walk through together, with a measuring tape handy, to envision how the plan would work in person.

Having discussed ideas and taken a brief for the overall look we provided a concept document with images that reflected the type of materials and colours discussed. We return to the “palette” each time a decision is made, to ensure it is in keeping with the scheme.

When starting with a clean slate, the craft is in putting together furniture and homewares in such a way that looks layered and gathered over time.

 This unique blend of interior items was created by Cathryn using more than 20 different suppliers. Original artwork selections confirmed the direction of the project as we injected saturated colour and texture into the space.

Rugs, bedding, throws, cushions, lighting and trays added detail and layering, whilst leaving room for additional personal touches. Plants add softness to the interior and the outdoors is
a calm oasis for those balmy evenings.

The mood is strongest in the evening as the lights come on in the city and are dimmed inside the apartment…
