A new family home in Westmere that draws on the area's heritage
A reimagined villa in Westmere, Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland

White walls provide a fresh backdrop for the earthy tones of a fluted corner seat where Lauren and Glenn enjoy weekend meals around the Alex marble dining table by Valdera from Collage. The bench seat is upholstered in Warwick Fabrics’ Eastwood Tan by Starfish Comfort.
Nicolazzi Regal rainheads, a Buddy Solo heated towel rail in aged iron and a Hampton Opaco vanity with Progetto oval vessel basins, all from Plumbline, bring vintage flavour to the main ensuite. The vertical Florencia Smoke tiles and large grey One tiles are from Quantum.
An ornate fire surround from Plastercraft lends a classical air to the lounge, where black-frame chairs from Freedom are a contemporary counterpoint. The Fabian sofa and a Forge coffee table in gold from Nood, have warm tones that key into the Alayna Tribal shag rug in cream and gold from Miss Amara.
In the laundry, cabinetry stretches to the 3.3m ceiling. A benchtop in Neve Quartz from TrendStone has a classic feel which is elevated by Elysian pull-out handles in brushed brass from ABI Interiors
