REVIEW
Designworx Is the Name To Trust for Interior Design Needs in New Zealand Designworx Limited is a leading interior design consultancy in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand. Established almost two decades ago, it is a premier interior and exterior design services provider in the harborside city of Tauranga, where the studio is known for its creative and functional approach to design and the projects they work on reach across international borders. Designworx offers services for both residential and commercial needs, although in recent times it has received several awards for residential projects. Luxury Lifestyle Awards recently conferred it the title Best Luxury Residential Interior Design for “A Journey Through Time: An Isle of Man Renovation” in the Isle of Man. The prestigious award follows several others, including from the UK Property Awards Interior Design, which honored Designworx with a 5-star award ‘Best Residential Interior Private Residence Isle of Man 20202021’ for the same project. In addition, Asia Pacific Property Awards Interior Design conferred Designworx with the award for ‘Best Residential Interior Private Residence New Zealand’ for its work on a villa renovation. In 2020 and 2021, Designworx won Best of Houzz awards in the categories of both design and service. Perhaps the secret to Designworx success is their collaborative approach to design, in that the client is seen as a valuable resource in creating a finished product that not only looks good but also functions well. “I really believe it’s all about connection and how a space feels. Every design decision should support the need to connect,” says Amanda Neill, Founder of Designworx Limited. Amanda has received training from institutions in Australia, the UK, and New Zealand, where she currently resides and operates her business. She has over 20 years of experience designing interiors, and her work has been published on numerous occasions. She is renowned for her eclectic style and unconventional approach to design. Amanda’s extensive knowledge has been taught at the Auckland School of Interior Design. She has conducted several design workshops and has also presented at Auckland Home Show seminars and contributed to Australasian Colour Forecasting. Her wide range of skills include designing both hard and soft fit outs. Furthermore, in 2014 she was the resident interior designer in the Living Channel renovation series, ‘How Did You Do That?’. Amanda manages a full range of projects – from kitchen and bathroom design to the smallest decor detail. Her range of services at Designworx include interior and exterior color scheming; floor planning, elevations, and specifications; lighting planning and flooring; project coordination and more. The firm provides an integrated end-to-end process for interior design requirements. In addition, professional services are provided to developers and architects.
Amanda says “Projects can be orchestrated remotely anywhere in the world with the technology available, as long as there is clear communication and collaboration” Her view is that “stunning interiors and stylish designs don’t just happen – they must be created. As interior designers, it’s our role to listen and interpret the client’s personality so that a space is created that reflects who they are”. At Designworx, the aim is always to translate a vision into reality, to create a space that oozes excitement and harmony, and provide functional solutions for the client’s lifestyle or business objective.
