CENTRAL CITY APARTMENT, AUCKLAND
At 37 stories in the sky, you are drawn to the uninterrupted views over central Auckland. As you enter the apartment the solid timber fins define the open entry. The kitchen wanted to be functional and inviting, and to sit comfortably within the 3.6m stud open-plan living space.
The client had a clear aesthetic in mind which accommodated the use of some treasured fittings saved from a childhood family home; the floating shelving provides an opportunity to display these special pieces and add some colour. The 100 x 100 full-height tiles complement the modern 70s aesthetic and add texture to the two-tone kitchen. Down the hallway you are drawn through a custom walnut door to the impressive library, with solid walnut floating shelving featuring a custom movable ladder to allow full access to the space.

SILVERDALE, AUCKLAND
This modern home is a luxurious family retreat. Natural tones and inspired finishes and fixtures feature throughout in a cohesive design. The grand living and entertainment zone impresses with clean lines, smooth concrete floors, and built-in cabinetry. The kitchen island with its sleek waterfall edge makes an ideal bar.
The family bathroom is a delight, with feature lights and subtle pink basins blending in with earthy tiles. Upstairs in the main suite, a Juliet balcony makes the most of sea views and the ensuite is exquisite, with gorgeous bronzed glass, dark basins, and bespoke cabinetry adding to the allure. This minimalist home shines with an abundance of space, style, and personality.
MT EDEN, AUCKLAND
Working closely with interior designers at.space and the building team at The Building Co, Fluid Interiors detailed, manufactured and installed the custom cabinetry and veneer panelling throughout this character-filled villa.
The kitchen and bar combine warm oak veneer cabinetry with contrasting black stone and steel tops, which blend seamlessly with the veneer-panelled walls.
The overall design features pops of blue hues throughout, from the custom teal cabinetry in the scullery to the handles on the matt-black TV unit. Our team is proud to have played its part in creating this beautiful and thoughtfully designed home.
