Interiors
Who wouldn’t want to stay in a light, airy space with beautiful full-height curtains, carefully chosen furniture and a pared-back, calming aesthetic? Erena has created a gallery-white backdrop and brought in warmth through timber. “I tried to stick to light colours and furniture that wasn’t too bulky to help give a sense of light and space,” says Erena, who describes the studio as “a little bit TradeMe, a little bit custom, a little bit treat yo’self and a lot me”.
Exterior
The vertical cedar-clad exterior hints at the warm-hearted modernist escape within. A landscaped area outside includes a private outdoor bathing area with a freestanding bath that’s perfectly positioned to take in views across the gully.
The build
Erena’s creative vision, coupled with Signature Homes’ technical skills and expertise, has been an easy and successful partnership. It’s proof that if you can imagine it, Signature Homes can build it. Clockwise from above A slim pendant light is an elegant accent in the bedroom; the outdoor bath and walk-in shower embrace nature.
