Project Overview

A modern family home designed for light, space, and everyday living.

Set on a generous site in Halswell, Kahurangi Road is a bespoke two-storey residence that balances striking contemporary design with the warmth of natural materials. The brief was clear: create a home that felt open and connected, with room for a growing family to thrive.

The result is a 342 m² home featuring a floating timber staircase that serves as the architectural centrepiece, a designer kitchen with dark cabinetry and timber accents, and three beautifully appointed bathrooms with handpicked artisan tilework and vessel basins.
