A central Auckland apartment with magnificent views of the harbour. Hare Interiors has created a calm retreat away from the bustle of Ponsonby Road. A subtle palette within the interior is complimented with textural stones, bold forms and accents of colour.
A custom brass screen draws on traditional Art Deco forms to divide the study from the living area. The screen is a three-dimensional sculptural piece made from brass loops suspended from the ceiling. It adds lightness to the otherwise solid forms of the living space and office.
The kitchen cabinetry is clad in crown-cut oak veneer, custom-stained in a dusky brown that allows the onyx to take the starring role. Sprayed brass cabinets with a fabric-like appearance adorn the living-room walls. As well as being a key visual feature of the living room, these house the AV requirements for the home.
