Our international clients vision was to create a Waiheke retreat that kept them connected to Aotearoa, family and friends.

This new build had been born from amazing architecture as well as the most beautiful Waiheke location. Island Interiors brief was for a personalised, warm interior that could work for just the family, as well as entertaining large numbers of extended family and friends when they arrived home. A home with an international feeling, reflecting their love of travel while being quintessentially New Zealand.

Our response was an interior that seamlessly blended inside and out, creating gathering spaces that felt intimate but could be opened up for large scale entertaining. Set over multiple levels our goal was to connect all of the spaces through subtle design choices including natural materiality finishes - wood, wicker, linen and stone. We engaged artisans throughout the country to produce custom designs that worked perfectly in the spaces as well as for our clients requirements. Our finishes were chosen to compliment the environment but also to celebrate local artist and producers.

The result, an interior that reflects our clients lifestyle, that can host family and friends and grounds them back to New Zealand.
