The brief for interior design was to create a luxurious and genuine New Zealand kiwi bach, to stand out from the rest in design, fit-out and luxury finishing.
Walls Studio were able to get creative with space planning to optimise the vast floor area of 280 sqm. With the final layout accommodating a total of 16 guests to comfortably stay, and have multiple areas and space to spread out and enjoy.
The interior palette and furniture selections draws from the natural colours found in Whananaki.
Regardless of a budget challenge, Walls Studio were able to make significant design impact through use of clever and durable materials, texture and colours to create a warm and inviting retreat.
