Milford

The concept

Our clients hailed, from Canada via Sydney. Auckland is the family’s new home and it is a place to share with close friends and feel connected with the local community.

The collective prevailing style of the family was clean, modern, comfortable and vibrant. Entertaining was set to be a big part of their lives so, an interior that is easy going with a beachy feel was requested.

Their beautiful home was originally built in the 1920s and has had significant additions and changes over the years. However there had been a feeling that there is a lack of cohesion between the differing styles presented within the house and it was decided to take the house on a full journey into contemporary and modern style. 

The only remaining feature of the original 1920s is its high ceilings and narrow staircase. Although the house has been stripped of its current interior, it has still maintained its casual, relaxing and inviting atmosphere. Its location is tucked down a peaceful road leading to the beach. The feel is distinctly coastal with the ocean not more than a few houses away.
