Set on a prime site in one of Takapuna’s most prestigious streets, this sophisticated modernist home was designed by Smith Architects to embrace both relaxed family living and effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining.
Trinity Interior Design was involved from the concept stage through to the final furnishing, working closely with the clients and architectural team to develop an interior that complements the strong architectural language of the home while bringing warmth, softness and a sense of ease to the spaces.
A considered palette of natural materials — including concrete, cedar, oak and natural stone — creates a refined yet welcoming backdrop. Carefully selected furnishings, lighting and finishes layer texture and warmth throughout the home, while generous glazing, light-filled voids and strong connections to the outdoors allow the changing light and coastal setting to become an integral part of the interior.
The result is an elegant and contemporary home that feels elevated without being formal. Every element has been considered to support the way the family lives, from comfortable spaces for everyday life through to sophisticated areas designed for entertaining.
For Trinity, the most rewarding aspect of the project was being able to work alongside the clients from the earliest design decisions through to completion. By carefully refining the material, finish and furnishing selections, we were able to create a cohesive interior that brings the architectural vision to life while remaining timeless, practical and deeply personal.
A calm, considered Auckland home designed for modern family living, with a strong connection to its coastal setting and a timeless material palette that will endure for years to come.
