The owners of this Remuera front section chose to build new in a traditional villa style.
KKID was engaged to select finishes, colours and key furniture pieces to give it a cohesive and more contemporary feel that suited this busy family.
We drew inspiration early on from Parisian apartments that manage to feel fresh and contemporary whilst honouring the historical provenance of the architecture.
The architectural trim and walls were painted in the same Aalto chalky paint colours, using greys, greens and charcoals we created a color scheme entirely void of white.
Reclaimed Rimu flooring from the Christchurch earthquake would have been traditionally varnished to a deep red was instead washed with Woca whitewash to keep it closer to its raw hue for a more contemporary feel.
Vintage lights and rugs work beautifully with contemporary and functional seating and accessories.
