Moku Mood
A Japandi-inspired kitchen for a busy family of five — calm, functional, and designed for connection. A space to honour the home’s roots and make memories that last.
Designing from Scratch
A forever home designed with intention — every line, texture, and storage cabinet considered.
Created in collaboration with Grand Designs NZ architect Nat, this Japandi-inspired kitchen, scullery, and living space balances calm minimalism with rich warmth. Designed for a family of five, every detail supports connection, ease, and a home that grows with them — from soft timber cabinetry to the built-in bookshelf that hides toys below and frames a quiet reading nook with ocean views.

Behind the Living Room Built-In
Built-in shelving wraps around the living space, framing a reading nook that gazes out to the ocean.
This moment was designed as both a visual anchor and a pause point — a place to curl up, to breathe. Storage below hides toys, art supplies, and the mess of real life, while the form itself stays simple and sculptural. It’s a space that honours the present, and makes room for the years ahead.
