TRENDS INTERNATIONAL DESIGN AWARDS 2015 INTERNATIONAL WINNERS RECOGNISING EXCELLENCE IN DESIGN
The Trends International Design Awards – TIDAs – are a search for the best kitchens, bathrooms and homes across a number of the countries where Trends has a presence. The TIDAs start with awards programmes within individual countries and culminate in judging to decide the overall international winners. Congratulations to our three TIDA International winners.
2015 TIDA INTERNATIONAL BATHROOM OF THE YEAR ARCHITECT PRINEAS, SYDNEY

2015 INTERNATIONAL BATHROOM OF THE YEAR WINNER – EVA-MARIE PRINEAS, ARCHITECT PRINEAS, SYDNEY Architect Prineas’ bathroom design skilfully overcomes the challenges of providing all the requirements of a contemporary bathroom while at the same time respecting the character of the 1890s Grand Italianate Sydney terrace home in which it is found. The bathroom itself is a mirror-clad central pod insertion in a space that retains original features such as the fireplace and the wooden floorboards. This gives a clean, uncluttered look to the room, which is enhanced by a wealth of discreet storage. This bathroom also won TIDA Australian Bathroom of the Year. The TIDA New Zealand Bathroom of the Year was awarded to Fraser Cameron of Fraser Cameron Architects, Taupo.
2015 INTERNATIONAL HOME OF THE YEAR WINNER – CRAIG STEERE, CRAIG STEERE ARCHITECTS, PERTH This is a home with instant appeal. On a functional level, architect Craig Steere has designed a home that’s ideal for a family with four mature sons – with separate spaces for the parents and younger members of the family, as well as communal areas where everyone could be together. But it’s how those spaces are organised along the axis of the site and then tied together with innovative design elements that made the house the standout entry with the judges for TIDA International Home of the Year. This home also won TIDA Australian Home of the Year. The TIDA New Zealand Home of the Year was awarded to Paul Leuschke of Leuschke Kahn Architects, Auckland.
2015 INTERNATIONAL KITCHEN OF THE YEAR WINNER – ROBIN CAUDWELL, DESIGNER CABINETS, HAMILTON Designer Robin Caudwell has produced the perfect response to his client’s brief – they wanted simplicity and texture for their new kitchen, and a design that wouldn’t detract from the strong lines of the architecture of the home. The result is a kitchen that integrates perfectly into its surroundings. It creates a strong presence without dominating and feels light and elevated, despite the heavy structures around it. This kitchen also won TIDA New Zealand Kitchen of the Year.
The TIDA Australian Kitchen of the Year was awarded to Marija Novosel of JAG Kitchens, Adelaide.

European sensibility Strategic placement on site and an interior that opens up to the seascape are key features of this contemporary coastal residence

Homes with the most dramatic outlooks often seem to be nestled on the most awkward sites. In such cases, the positioning on the property can dictate the form and flow of the house itself. For this new home project, the owners asked architect Stephan Meijer for a contemporary, European-style design with great views from every room, a pitched roof and a self-contained apartment below. There also needed to be a double garage with internal access, and a pool. To fulfil the client’s brief, the house is long and linear, composed with strong forms that fold over in an attractive facade composition.
The generous use of concrete and glass is off-set by the warmth of Canadian cedar on some walls and Colorsteel roofing in the same wood tone. Faced with a steep site, the positioning and layout of the house was crucial, says Meijer. “As a result, we designed the home over split levels – with the garage and formal entry on the top floor. From here, you step down to the main living spaces with the master suite also at this level. The pool is set halfway between this main floor and the basement level, which has a bedroom, home office, gym, wine cellar, ancillary spaces and the self-contained apartment.”

The interiors are as generous and simple as the eye-catching exterior. On the main floor, the open-plan living spaces are white with the blue of the sea almost a component of the decor. The marble-look large format tiles are also in keeping with the European sensibility required. Coastal conditions are notoriously variable but the sustainable-energy house is well set up for warmth and cold. The main level is built on a concrete slab, which absorbs the sun’s rays during the day through the generous glazing and releases the heat back into the interior come evening. Deep overhangs and sun shades both

help mitigate heat gain during the summer. “In addition, the design is slightly unusual for New Zealand in that it has external rather than internal insulation,” says Meijer. “With this building method, the concrete walls are exposed directly to the interior, with no cavity space to hide pipes and wires. This meant that service channels had to be configured into the concrete tilt slabs before the house even went up.” With its clean-lined composition of simple, strong materials, sprawling terrace and articulated forms, this house opens up to the coastal panorama on all levels and from all rooms.
Right: Large sliders roll back to make the interiors and the terrace one expansive indoor-outdoor area. A dropped ceiling defines the kitchen which features a restful green glass splashback and a sculptural island. Given the waterfront location, the house makes the most of the setting with a very long terrace. The pool is a few steps down from the end of this terrace.

Natural extension A contemporary addition to this home celebrates a mature gum tree on the property and accesses new upper-level views
Previous pages, above, facing page upper, and right: Offering a point of difference to the solidity of the brick and sandstone house it connects to, this glass-walled extension is designed around the site’s large mature gum tree. Facing page, middle: Before the renovation, two sets of French doors connected to the rear yard. The original house has been reconfigured as bedroom spaces, with living areas moved to the modern extension.
It’s a scenario often faced by architects – how to most effectively add spacious, contemporary living to an historic home. Sometimes, a clear divide is best for the old, and also for the new. The renovation and expansion of this family home with a heritage-listed facade was undertaken by BE Architecture. Together with reworking the interiors of the sandstone and red-brick house, BE directors Jonathon Boucher and Andrew Piva were asked to add an extension and pool on the sloping rear of the site. The extension had to embrace a beautiful lemon-scented gum on the property and provide

seamless indoor-outdoor flow, says Boucher. “The two-level addition is built on a floating slab of off-form concrete with timber infills bridging the root structure of the ancient tree. “Strategies were made in conjunction with an arborist to ensure the tree and root system weren’t harmed during the tricky construction.” In terms of layout, the ground floor of the addition comprises a large pavilion containing the open-plan living, kitchen and dining space. “The top floor – on a level with the main upper floor of the existing house – has the new master bedroom suite,” says Boucher.

Above: The minimalist kitchen in the pavilion continues the exterior materials. A simple concrete slab benchtop echoes the concrete floor plane while the cabinetry and joinery are in the same spotted gum as the posts. To the right, even the outdoor serving counter is in concrete and runs right through from outside to in.
To connect the old with the brand new, the architects inserted a central circulation atrium that defines and celebrates the different sections. The formal entry was moved from the front of the home to this bisecting void, says Piva. From the side, guests now enter directly into the heart of the home, while the original front door now opens to a new front yard garden. The extension is mainly glass but sections of inky spotted gum cladding contrast with the red brick on the existing home. The same finish is repeated on the support posts, which echo and complement the look of the tree trunk and its
search | save | share at trendsideas.com
branches. The posts conceal internal services, keeping the overall look uncluttered. “And the cladding materials are brought inside, too – seen, for example, beside the new entry door where the spotted gum cladding is continued into the hall,� says Boucher. The lines of the pavilion base slab lead the eye out past the glazing to the covered deck and views beyond. And with the sliding doors pulled back, the living spaces, pavilion deck and pool become one. This arrangement gives the impression that the pavilion space is even larger than it really is.
“Stepping the swimming pool and storage spaces down the hill, enabled us to keep the pool surface flush with the deck,” says Piva. “And a new garage is positioned another level down again – tucked under the pool and rear lawn. The project involved extensive excavation.” The upper level of the extension cantilevers over the lower floor, with its deck stretching out to access harbour views previously unavailable to the owners. The roof was extended, too, making it more like a landscape element. In addition, the design incorporates passive heating and cooling to minimise power needs.
Above: Repositioning the front door to the middle at the side of the extended home allows guests to arrive straight at the heart of the interior – walking into the atrium that divides the existing and the new. Left: With sliders drawn back, the exterior and interior of the pavilion become one flowing public space. Corner-butted glass adds to the illusion of indoors and out as one.

Touch of class This multi-storey home makes the most of its modest site and a tropical climate – marble and exotic woods bring the natural world inside A smallish site doesn’t limit you to a modest home. Faced with a tight land area, an effective design approach will optimise every square metre of the property, create a sense of internal expansiveness and connect to the outdoors and views at every turn. It also helps that if you can’t build outwards, you can build up instead. This five-level home, on a small 465m2 plot was designed by its owner, interior designer James Yong, of Interlink Design Solutions. The house footprint takes up almost all of the property, with a lane pool running along one side, says Yong.

Reaching up not out, the home has parking in the basement, the main living spaces and wet and dry kitchens on the ground floor, and bedrooms and a study on the level above that. The fourth floor has the master suite while the roof – together with the many other terraces and balconies – offers another outdoor living space. “As well as connecting with the outdoors and views via balconies, I wanted the house to have its own internal spaciousness,” Yong says. To achieve this, the architect designed the first floor with a ceiling cutout – opening it to the floor above to create a double-height void.

“There is a 3.7m-high stud on all floors, but here it is more like 8m, creating a dramatic impact. I drew attention to the height by introducing a textured, plaster wall element beside the main seating area to lead the eye up. This was repeated in horizontal format in the kitchen and dining area for continuity.” While the house doesn’t have a lot of garden, it does bring the natural world inside through the choice of materials.

Matched slabs of marble are also used for flooring and the same richly veined Italian stone features on the floors and walls of the master bathroom. For the home’s general decor and furniture, Yong has drawn together artwork and pieces from European and oriental sources, both classic and contemporary. A snapshot of this eclectic approach is seen in the kitchen and dining area. “The AlnoCera Convinta designer kitchen from Germany was chosen for its strong, simple

lines and stone-like finishes,” says Yong. “For the dining area a few steps away, we designed a long, wood dining table which is both contrasted and complemented by antique dining chairs from China.” The house is designed for sustainable living. The roof is fitted with solar panelling and the many sliding doors and operable screens not only provide easy access to the pool and balconies, but also provide cross ventilation. Spacious on the inside and a showcase for high-end natural materials, the tall home offers a refined, relaxed lifestyle in the heart of the city.
Building a backstory Visitors to this North California home feel like they’ve arrived at a renovated 1800s stone winery with a modern addition – but all is not what it seems

It’s one thing to copy a traditional style, but something totally different to recreate a passage of time. That’s the guiding principle and philosophy designer Julian Cohen brought to this home he designed in North California wine country. For Cohen, it’s important that clients first identify what’s meaningful for them and, in this instance, he aimed to produce a home that tells a story and expresses a sense of history. What emerged from early discussions was the influence on the owners of a stone
building that was one of California’s first wineries – and a haiku the owners wrote. “We wanted to establish what’s really important to them, so their house could be an expression of who they are – something they would feel totally comfortable with. “These gave the essence from which we developed the design of their home.” What evolved in the design process was an L-shaped configuration of two buildings connected by a breezeway. The stone-clad main building appears to be an 1800s winery which has been

The breezeway connects the two wings of the home, with the main residence on the left and guest accommodation to the right. Designer Julian Cohen evolved the design of the house so that it appears to be an authentic 1800s winery that has been renovated and then extended with a modern addition.

renovated and converted to a home at some stage. The secondary building – referred to as the annex – is a more modern single-storey structure that looks as if it is a recent addition to the property. With this backstory established, Cohen was then able to set about the design and detailing that supported it. Getting the stone right on the two-storey building proved particularly challenging. “We visited the inspirational winery, and the exterior stone used there was very large. And to look right, the stones have to
Previous pages: The authentic look of the great room is enhanced by the original faced, reclaimed white oak boards on the ceiling and the rusted bolts used to sandwich the beams. Facing page and top: The kitchen and adjacent living space form the heart of the home where the owners spend much of their time. The amount of cabinetry in the kitchen could be kept to a minimum by having a well-equipped scullery.

become smaller higher up,” says Cohen. “It took three months searching to find a quarry to cut the stone – then we experimented for weeks with grout materials.” Windows and doors were all custommade in steel. Concrete posts were poured in place and needed to be precisely formed for the windows to fit into them – with a tolerance of only 3mm. Inside, flooring and ceiling boards were deliberately selected to give an aged character in keeping with an old winery building. But once inside more contemporary

elements are revealed. For example, the kitchen is characterised by two 150 x 150cm islands. “The room is so big, one island would have been monstrous, so we broke it up” says Cohen. “But the butcher block look of the tops still gives a link to the past. “There’s also a full-on scullery, which is like a second kitchen, except there’s no stove. With the scullery, we didn’t need so many cabinets in the main kitchen, this resulted in a more European look.” The transition to a more modern look

continues from the main building through the breezeway, to the annex. This is a selfcontained guest wing with two bedrooms, ensuites and laundry. The annex is clad in Alaskan yellow cedar and, in further contrast to the stone building, all its guttering and downpipes are concealed. Solar panels on the roofs of the singlestorey buildings supply most of the electricity the house needs. Cohen says while energy efficiency was important, it wasn’t a driving force behind the design.

However, the house has most of its window expanse on the more sheltered north face, and shades have been added to any exposed windows. The main house also benefits from radiant heat from the slab floor, and there’s a multi-split system for heating and cooling. But for Julian Cohen the ultimate success of his design lies in the responses given by visitors to the property. “Some people believe this really is a renovated old winery – which is exactly what we were aiming for,” he says.

It’s one thing to add function and interior space to a traditional home but quite another to do so without ruffling the original aesthetic. On this project, by architect Peter Willett, the existing house, built in the early 1900s, had undergone several unsympathetic renovations. The owners asked Willett to remove this design clutter and bring light to the dark interior spaces while connecting the front living and dining spaces to the rear of the home and back garden. “They also required additional bedrooms and a modest flat over a new two-car garage in place of the existing single garage. All of this
search | save | share at trendsideas.com
was to be done without disturbing the look and scale of the original architecture. “We took the house back to its original base, removing the ill-considered earlier renovations, and opened up the rear in sympathy with the fabric of the original design. For example, the veranda was extended around to the back.” To achieve front to back indoor connections and bring light into the interior, Willett dramatically reconfigured the interiors. The front rooms remain much as they were, with expanded doorways both internally and to the outdoors. However, the rear of the home was transformed.
Top and above: The long view – a vista extends from the front living room right through the kitchen to the garden. The kitchen has two zones, with glassware and a drinks fridge set by the servery to the rear. Right: Existing front rooms remain much as they were apart from wider inter-room connections and openings to the outdoors. Pocket sliders can be drawn across the expanded openings to provide room-to-room separation if required.

“Moving away from the trend of open-plan living, we reverted to separate kitchen, living and dining areas. These are linked by a series of frames, created by the newly expanded door openings,� says Willett. The interior now has two axes oriented to the reworked back garden. One is a staggered path, zigzagging from living to dining room and on to a new central family room, or sun room. This in turn opens to another informal family space, with the garden and pool beyond. The central room benefits from the light from an adjacent new stairwell and has the airy feel of a sunny
internal courtyard. The other axis follows a direct line from the living room back through a new elongated kitchen to the outdoors. “These sight lines don’t stop at the home’s boundaries, either,” says the architect. “We lined everything up so the neighbours’ trees to the rear and an established park to the front both further extend the green outlooks.” The rear views are also enhanced by work on the backyard garden and re-sited pool. “In this area, which slopes away from the house, we designed a new double garage with the requested flat on top. Supporting piles had

to be dug as the earth in this area is very sandy and wouldn’t have supported the two-storey construction. As the land slopes here and the reworked garden was to be brought up to the ground level of the house, we were able to first excavate and add a series of subterranean service and storage spaces. “Essentially, you leave the garage and walk through the underground spaces to pop up on the new rear verandah.” To add the additional rooms, a new floor level was discreetly inserted under the existing roofline. The subtle external changes included
an extension to the main ridge of the roof culminating in a large house-wide dormer at the rear. Other new dormers were added on the side of the house away from the street to optimise exposure to the sun. The new upstairs bedrooms and bathroom are designed to follow the angles of the roof. To keep the bedrooms uncluttered and timeless, storage space is integrated into a wall panel system which echoes the detailing downstairs. An upstairs veranda is set into the large rear dormer – this overlooks the repositioned pool, the new double garage, apartment, and garden.

Space, light and lifestyle This Lockwood home offers every advantage from green living to personalised interiors Above: Reflecting on nature – this Lockwood home, built by Wellington franchisee Tuohy Homes, offers green outlooks and green design. The house has two decks – one serving the generous living spaces on the mid level, the other accessed by the master suite and home office on the floor above. The house also has a sheltered, low-upkeep yard to the rear so there is always a sunny, sheltered outdoor space to enjoy.
Having a broad range of pre-existing plans to choose from doesn’t have to place limitations on your individual dreams. That’s if you choose a housing company with the knowledge and skill set to take your passion and run with it. This home with generous harbour views by Lockwood Wellington franchisee Tuohy Homes is a case in point. In terms of layout, the house is engineered to negotiate a steep Wilton site – stepping down the hill over split levels. The layout is specific to the owner’s needs with the master suite upstairs, living and two more bedrooms downstairs and a self-contained

guest wing to one side. A generous-sized double garage and workshop are tucked in underneath. Director Brent Tuohy says that while modern Lockwoods are well known for being warm and energy efficient due to their wood construction, it is possible to take things even further – which is what the homeowners desired here. “Lockwood homes by their nature optimise passive heating, but the clients wanted their home to take sustainable living to the next level.” To achieve this, the main living floor has a concrete slab floor, designed to absorb the sun’s warmth during the day and release it back into
the interior at night, when temperatures drop. Porcelain tile floors optimise this heat gain. The home has underfloor heating, economically powered by solar panelling. To complete the green picture, argon-filled double glazing and thermally broken joinery avoid energy loss. To discuss your new home building requirements with us, contact Lockwood Homes, phone 0508 LOCKWOOD, or go to: lockwood.co.nz search: 47993 or Lockwood at trendsideas.com
Above: Gleaming porcelain floors over a centre-level concrete slab floor contribute to the home’s passive heating design. Stone countertops and the under-lit sculptural island might look like custom add-ons but are standard fare for a Lockwood. The homely display niches to the right were a client request, however.

Seamless flow For this coastal home, the specification of the high-performance Fairview Architectural series ensures the indoors and outdoors appear as one
search | save | share at trendsideas.com
Interiors that open up to outdoor living areas are a popular feature in contemporary homes. However, specifying the right glazing systems and installer makes a world of difference. Creating openness and indoor-outdoor flow was a priority for this Oneroa beach house. The Fairview Architectural series from Fairview Systems, with its crisp look and large glazing capacity was the ideal solution, supplied and installed by Fairview Window Solutions. The 2.4m x 2.8m corner sliding doors open up the interiors to the rear deck, says Matthew Bowden from Fairview Window Solutions.
“And Fairview Architectural provides a flush track and chunky square look that blends in seamlessly. In addition, triangular clerestory windows bring in more natural light and provide a view of native pohutakawas surrounding the windows – creating a private, secluded feel.” The client also wanted the doors to slide back flush, to optimise space and create a clean look – another plus of the Architectural series. The kitchen and living room joinery was prepared in Fairview Window Solutions’ Auckland factory then assembled on site. The panes were craned in, then wedge glazed into the panelling.
“The architect pushed the boundaries of the Architectural series here and we made everything easier, from choice to installation,” he says. For information on Fairview Systems, phone (09) 574 2900.

Above: On this seaside residence, it’s hard to spot where the interiors finish and the great outdoors begin. This is due in part to the choice of the Fairview Architectural series high-spec glazing system, installed by Fairview Window Solutions. Some features that appealed to the homeowner and architect included the series’ extremely strong construction, smooth-gliding action, and flush sills that result in a seamless threshold.

Picture this A simple mural brings this room to life – the purple hues are from Resene’s Multi-finish collection Feature walls are a great way to bring added drama, but what about going a step further by adding a freehand masterpiece? Creating a simple wall mural such as the one pictured isn’t as tricky as it looks – and because it’s freehand, if you make a mistake with a profile, who would know? This mural of hills was painted by allround creative person and stylist Megan Harrison-Turner. Even she was surprised at how easy it is to transform a plain wall into something so attractive and dramatic. First, Megan found an inspiring photo online, then sketched the hill outlines on the wall in pencil. Next, she added paint, using Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen. The stylist chose a purple-themed palette. However, blues would work, too, as would warm browns, or even golden yellows. The colours here are Resene Spindle (sky), Resene Mischka (left hill), Resene Freestyling (right), Resene Santas Grey (right), Resene Mamba (right), Resene Hammerhead (left, behind table), and Resene Casper (sea). The floor is Resene Ivanhoe. The Resene Multi-finish collection is ideal for a project like this, where tonal variation is key. The collection is at the heart of the Resene Total Colour System, with 896 colours on a series of 64 palettes. The palettes are two paint chips wide, making it easy to compare colour to colour. For details, visit a Resene ColorShop, or freephone 0800 RESENE (737 363), or go to the web: www.resene.co.nz seach: 47881 or resene at trendsideas.com Right: Creating a wall mural like this is easy. One tip is to keep the colours dusky and muted rather than clear and sharp. Resene colours were used here.

An experienced design-and-build company’s standard plans will offer the best of everything – even so, they’re often just a starting point. GJ Gardner prides itself on meeting a client’s needs in terms of design, budget and flexibility, says Coromandel and Thames general manager Glenn Sonntag. “Being able to modify a show design or else custom-design a home from scratch has proven hugely beneficial to us and our clients.” This 188m2 three bedroom Coromandel home with open-plan living, kitchen and dining, and a generous double garage, is a case in point.
“We based the home on our popular Cook design and modified it to suit the exposed coastal location,” says Sonntag. “At the request of the owners, we also tweaked elements of the interior to optimise solar penetration, appreciation of the views and indoor-outdoor flow – the airy living area opens to a large Kwila deck.” For details, contact GJ Gardner Homes, phone 0800 42 45 46, web: www.gjgardner.co.nz save & share 47934 at trendsideas.com

Winning curves Tight glass shaping made this contemporary stair balustrade achievable and affordable Glass can be curved and manipulated to suit a variety of architectural situations – but just how tight a curve can go has often been a limiting factor. However, with the right manufacturer, the options are greater. This spiral staircase – at the head office of leading Australian custom home builder Atrium Homes – is a good example of advanced glass manufacturing producing an ideal outcome for all concerned. The tricky stair project was measured up by ErgoMeasure, and glass specialists Glasshape created the panels accordingly. The final spectacular staircase was installed by Aristo Balustrades. Glasshape’s Bryn Williams explains why his firm made the difference. “The internal panels are as tight as we could bend 12mm glass – creating a dramatic 700mm radius. This is as tight as the industry can achieve,” he says. “Our depth of experience and manufacturing capabilities helped in other ways, too. Huge benefits were gained in economies of scale, by supplying 25 panels in just three different radii. This meant three set-up costs were spread across multiple panels, greatly reducing the cost per unit.“ All glass products from Glasshape are made to the highest safety standards.

Well connected This home connects easily with its environment through natural-styled aluminium windows and doors from Windowmakers
Top: Designed by architect Robyn Bilkey and built by LBG Builders, this home features windows and doors from Windowmakers. The house is designed for maximum views and sun, with the main rooms arranged around the north axis – as such, window and door treatments were a key part of its success. Above: The custom architectural front door melds into the exterior with distinctive stained cedar battens mounted on a plasma panel.
Nestled amongst mature pohutukawa trees, this generous home is perched on a clifftop with scenic outlooks across Auckland’s Hobson Bay. The residence’s east-facing windows were designed with large fixed glass panels to accentuate the views, says architect Robyn Bilkey. Bilkey chose anodised aluminium joinery, from Windowmakers’ APL Architectural Series, to complement the home’s natural colour palette – grey pre-cast concrete panels mimicking the striations of the cliff below the home, and vertical dark stained, random thickness cedar boards reflecting the texture and shadows of

the pohutukawa around the established site. “The finish is also a reference to the old black baches with white joinery of New Zealand’s classic and casual mid-century,” says Bilkey. Windowmakers played a vital part in ensuring her vision for the house was fulfilled from start to finish. For example, the company enhanced the main entrance by designing a custom door with rustic stained-cedar battens – blending it in with the home’s cladding. Working closely with architects, owners and building companies to achieve the right look for their designs is a passion for all Windowmakers
project managers, and Paul Keen, who worked on this elevated project, is no exception. “Here, the design intention was to achieve a modern look using traditional materials and create a spacious feel inside,� says Keen.

Comfort and light The source of light and views, windows are also a key player in your home’s heat loss or heat control – Low E glass from Metroglass has you covered Above: The owners of this upmarket apartment approached Metroglass for the right glazing solution to keep their home warm and snug in winter and cool and comfortable in summer. The couple chose the glass specialist on reputation and because the company – with its purpose-built, nation-wide showrooms – has over 20 years’ experience in both wood and aluminium windows. While used for a new-build here, Low E units are easily retrofitted into existing homes.
The glass you choose can have a huge impact on the comfort of your home and the size of its energy bills. The best way to address this is to use Low E glass – Low E is an abbreviation for low emissivity, the ability to radiate absorbed energy. Because green, energy-efficient heating and cooling is now so central to home design, Metroglass offers a range of Low E glass options, says Mike Stanford of Metro Performance Glass. “The range is suitable for both new builds and upgrading existing homes, as these sealed Low E glass units are also easily retrofitted. “Low E glass has a unique coating designed
search | save | share at trendsideas.com
to reflect long wave radiation from the glass itself and from inside or outside the house.” And for homeowners there are a number of attractive benefits to using the specialist glass. “When it’s freezing outside and you’re heating your home during winter, less warmth will be lost through the glass. And, conversely, when the sun is beating down in summer less solar radiation will enter your home,” he says. Used in conjunction with double glazing, the high-tech glass can reduce a home’s energy loss by a staggering 28% to 45%, saving on heating requirements in the winter and cooling
requirements during the summer months. Low-E double glazing also makes the internal glass temperature warmer thus greatly reduces issues of condensation. The result is a healthy, more comfortable interior for your family. And in summer, Low-E glazing helps control the sun and reduce heat gain without affecting light or views – no screens or drapes required. On the other hand, large areas of clear glass can let in too much light, creating glare. Solar-control Low E double glazing works like sunglasses, limiting Visible Light Transmission (VLT), and thus glare, coming into the interior
and fading your furniture and furnishings. “With Metro you can even choose the exact level of performance you want,” says Stanford. “We’ve developed several Low-E double glazing options – such as Solar-control – in addition to our classic and custom ranges, so there’s one to suit your specific requirements and budget.” For details, contact Metro Performance Glass, phone 0800 658 945, www.metroglass.co.nz save & share 47871 at trendsideas.com
Above: The suburban Auckland unit is light and sunny as the effective insulating properties of the glazing mean the drapes are only used at night, for privacy. Metro offers several options, with one Low E glass most effective for glare while another has a greater focus on heat retention, for example. Here, top-ofthe-line argon gas-filled units with thermal breaks were specified. Argon gas is an extremely poor conductor of heat, while thermal breaks avoid heat transfer through the frame.

Memory maker Once installed, a pool offers a welcome sight and activity every day of summer – Mayfair Pools creates an oasis that responds to your setting Whether it’s for this summer or all the summers that follow, a sparkling pool looks great, gives you a fun outdoor hub – and, importantly, priceless memories. Making the most of family is easy with a backyard oasis designed and built by Mayfair Pools. The fibreglass swimming pools are created in-situ over a concrete slab base and this process allows for total flexibility of design. Want a pool built around an existing rock feature or with steps or a ledge for children, for example? All would be easy to achieve.
Manager of Mayfair Pools Hawkes Bay Brendon Sims says that, as with all the firm’s projects, the pool shown here responds to the site and the owner’s tastes. “The client was keen to introduce a 1200mm-wide sheer-descent water feature into the new brick wall. He also requested stone pavers, ceramic tiles and a granite coping for the pool surround. Everything was high-end on this project – the grilles are all in brushed aluminium.” Finished in Fiji Sands colour, the pool offers a welcoming splash of turquoise in
the yard and, with the hot water heat pump, is ready to dive into 365 days of the year. A high-tech magnesium mineral chlorine generator ensures the pool is always clean.

Warm hearted As the hub of their respective homes, these designer kitchens all present a clean, welcoming aesethetic
Touching aesthetic This kitchen offers colour, texture, and a dedicated work zone for every task
Previous pages and right: Divide and rule – this kitchen renovation by Natalie Du Bois has several dedicated zones, including a television station tucked in beside the island. The mainly two-tone design celebrates contrast with reflective white cabinets set alongside stained grey door panels and dark wood battens that encase the island and conceal the ventilation above the cooking zone. Flos pendant lights over the island add a delicate touch.
Multiple dedicated work zones and multiple surface finishes could be tricky to juggle in a kitchen project. However, it’s just these kinds of challenges that bring out the best in a designer. For this project, by designer Natalie Du Bois, the client wanted a multifunctional kitchen that would release them from the constraints of their tired, u-shaped kitchen designed in the eighties. “By reconfiguring the space occupied by the existing kitchen and laundry, we were able to create a number of dedicated work zones – an area for preparing hot and cold drinks, a private pantry, and a discreet television area, together with bar seating and an informal dining area – while still preserving the laundry,” says Du Bois. For the overall look and feel, the client requested a white-themed kitchen contrasted with dark timber. However, they were open to using texture and colour to create interest. “We introduced both in a variety of ways, including contrasting white lacquered cabinets with both the horizontal-battened charcoal stained door panels and the mitred battens that wrap around the central island.” In addition, a variety of benchtop materials was used for the different work zones. Dark granite on the back bench was chosen to highlight the serene marine green glass tiles on the splashback above and to allow the hob to blend in. The pantry is kept clean and minimalist by the combination of a crisp white engineered stone benchtop matched with charcoal timber cabinets and pale green lacquered back panels and coloured glass. “We placed emphasis on the island taking centre stage by using Princess White quartzite in a textured, leather finish. This stone has soft green tones that pick up on the sea green of the splashback directly behind the island,” she says. The natural wood floor grounds the twotone design, while the shiny stainless steel toekicks complement the tapware and ovens.

Centre of attention This reinvented kitchen has a furniture-like island and a picture view of the rear garden – the feel is that the design has been gathered together over time
Previous pages and above: For this kitchen, designer Jan Goldman, of Kitchen Elements, designed the central island to help organise the space and provide a furniture-like piece. The bright, white hues are grounded by the warmth and tone of natural wood floors. Facing page: This above-counter cabinet is in a light silver, contrasting the mainly white cabinetry and building on the idea the kitchen was gathered together over time.
The classic country look often includes pieces collected here and there over several years. And this casual, relaxed aesthetic has found its way into more urbane kitchen environments as well. For this renovation project by designer Jan Goldman, the owners asked for an updated gourmet kitchen that was to include a functional yet stylish island with seating for family and guests. A large range and spacious walk-in pantry were also requested, says Goldman. Since the existing kitchen footprint was too small to accommodate these elements, the new kitchen was relocated to a larger room next to
search | save | share at trendsideas.com
the old kitchen. Besides providing the necessary space, the new location has the added benefit of being more centrally located in the home so the view from the foyer is now a welcoming kitchen. An outdated powder room adjoining the new kitchen was transformed into a walk-in pantry while the old kitchen has become an eating area, separate laundry, and powder room. “In the new kitchen space, we replaced a sliding door leading to the garden with a large window to create a sink wall and garden view. The window is flanked on both sides by glassfronted cabinets to evoke a light, airy feel.�

Above right: The Carrara marble countertops are run up the wall as well, providing ideal splashbacks. Facing page: Part of the old kitchen has been repurposed as an in-kitchen eating area, with an existing window widened to optimise natural light flow and views. The remainder of the old space was repurposed as a new laundry and powder room.
The island helps keep the kitchen open and airy as well – partly due to its design which allows for seating and display storage. Its tablelike legs, slatted wood platform and v-groove surfaces all create the feel of a piece of furniture. “While the cabinet panelling is transitional, I wanted to create the sense that the kitchen was collected together over a longer time frame – an amalgamation of different much-loved pieces.” As well as the table-like island, the kitchen has other elements that might also have been added over many years. For example, one above-counter cabinet brings a strong vertical
search | save | share at trendsideas.com
element in the room. This has been finished in a light silvery grey, subtly contrasting the otherwise pristine white cabinetry. Again, the effect is as if this was acquired separately and then added to the overall design mix. The designer also finished the integrated rangehood in the same tone, to bring balance. “There are several individual touches that bring personality to the design,” says Goldman. “The farm sink for clean-up offers a soft touch, for example, and I love the custom side detail on the Carrara marble backsplash where it cascades down to the countertop in the same stone.”

Island in the sun Part of a comprehensive renovation, this kitchen combines warmth, texture, and a large furniture-like island for a relaxed, welcoming aesthetic
Previous pages: A furniture-like island with corner detailing and a deep stone benchtop greets family and visitors when entering this modest, inviting new kitchen – part of a whole-house renovation by Rosenthal Munckton Shields. Above: Cosy corner – a traditional window and glass roof panel bring light into what would otherwise have been a dark space.
Introducing a new kitchen into a traditional home often requires a balance between relaxed, cosy warmth and contemporary functionality. This kitchen forms part of a comprehensive renovation of an 1860s Victorian terrace house by designer John Saliba of Rosenthal Munckton Shields. The front rooms and historic facade were retained but the rear has been stripped out and extended, with the new kitchen now at the heart of the home, says Saliba. “As such, the kitchen had to be sunny, warm and welcoming, and we took several steps to achieve this. An attractive corner window onto
search | save | share at trendsideas.com
a light court together with a glass roof section, ensures the space is filled with light.” As the island is one of the first things visible from the hall, he gave this an approachable, furniture-like quality with decorative pilasters and a deep stone benchtop – much like a rustic freestanding butcher’s block. “A darker colour choice on the island also separates it from the white painted wall cabinetry, making it seem even more like an individual piece of furniture,” says Saliba. And for similar reason, there is no sink or any appliances installed on the island – these
are all relegated to the perimeter of the kitchen. The simple, shallow panels on the cabinets have a transitional feel. Together with the many drawers and cupboards in the island, these offer extensive storage, including a pantry with foldout and retracting doors beside the cooktop. There is also open display shelving above the refrigerator and a wall-hung shelf unit over the sink to display the owners’ favourite crockery, adding another rustic touch to the design. The ceiling in the open-plan kitchen, the adjacent meals area and in the family room is finished in painted Regency lining boards –
adding to the required country kitchen accent. “While the colour palette is fairly restrained, this is balanced by an emphasis on texture,” says the designer. “The splashback is in tactile, undulating tiles and new oak floors laid throughout have only been given a light satin finish – with the knots and grains adding visual texture to the design.” Despite the rustic accent, the modest-sized kitchen includes every modern convenience. For example, a USB port and power socket are conveniently yet discreetly tucked under the island benchtop.
Above: White undulating tiles on the splashback add brightness and texture to the design. Perimeter cabinetry, island cupboards and drawers, and open shelving mean there is plenty of room for storage. The crockery and benchtop elements bring splashes of green to the predominantly white and wood colour palette. Ventilation is integrated into the cabinetry.

Style council This vibrant kitchen responds to both the likes and needs of its owners – as do the advanced Smeg appliances One likes crisp and contemporary while the other likes colourful and warm – two chefs, two points of view. Compromise may be required on design, but selecting the appliances is far easier. Such were the two individual design preferences requested by the owners of this kitchen, by designer Hayley Dryland. What they agreed on was an understated look that could be changed down the line. In response, a white kitchen with a custom tile splashback was chosen – the latter added warmth and colour but could
easily be switched out later, says Dryland. “Plenty of storage was required but, one owner didn’t want any valuable space taken up by adding a room for a scullery.” The solution was to introduce a sliding door pantry into the cabinetry – unsightly mess is out of sight from the public spaces. “The owners also wanted a kitchen that would truly perform, as one is an avid chef. This part was easier – we specified Smeg appliances in pristine stainless steel. “The Smeg models work well with the white cabinetry and Morroccan-look tile

Touch of privacy This bathroom features a garden window with operable privacy glass, elegantly laid tiling and a sculptural, minimalist vanity

If you’ve flown on Boeing’s new Dreamliner, one of the first things you probably wanted to try out was the window shade system. A flick of the switch, and the glass turns magically from transparent to translucent. For the owners of this home, the high-tech glass was an ideal solution to the dilemma of wanting family and visitors to enjoy their rear garden from the new bathroom, without compromising on privacy. In fact, that was just one of the innovative features that Owen Barnes of Bubble Bathrooms incorporated into the room. “The window with switch glass affords
either views to the clients’ manicured garden or user privacy with a flick of the switch – essentially, a chemical reacts with a low-voltage current to bring clarity, while turning off the current results in the default translucent effect.” The strong, minimalist bathroom has several touches that look straightforward but were quite tricky to execute. “Having the glass shower screen stop short of the floor required thoughtful design, in terms of the engineering, as well as a sloped floor that extends out beyond the stall’s footprint.” Even the shower plumbing is hidden away
inside the stall’s chrome support rod – nothing is as simple as it appears at first glance. Barnes also designed the sculptural vanity – a steel frame clad in engineered stone – which is the centrepiece for the dramatic bathing space. “Wall cavities were used for the storage usually found in the vanity, while recycled oak frames the generous, well-lit vanity mirror.” Another artisanal feature of the bathroom is its carefully considered large-format tilework. Used in different sizes for floor and wall, their layout is designed to avoid small half end pieces that would have cluttered the clean aesthetic.

The toilet niche also contains a long, slender cabinet that provides storage that would otherwise be found under the vanity.

Sparkling presence With gold-plated fixtures, marble shower and floors and a sparkling white gold mosaic wall tile, this bathroom exudes luxury Even in the most high-spec bathrooms it’s the unseen work that often has the greatest impact. The time and effort poured into creating the perfect backdrop in terms of light, and userfriendly layout will benefit the final design later. Before this makeover by Jason Bonham of Bonham Interiors, the old bathroom had dark, oppressive tilework and was robbed of natural light by a poorly situated opaque shower stall. To optimise sunlight in the master ensuite, the designer reoriented the room – taking out half walls and moving others to simply let more light in. However, build limitations meant the
plumbing had to remain where it was, making it a highly involved task to relocate the facilities. “Designed for the lady of the home, the brief was simply for the space to shine like a diamond. We took several approaches to this,” says Bonham. The walls, including the shower stall’s internal walls and ceiling, are finished in a mosaic white gold tile, while the fixtures and fittings throughout are also surfaced in gold. The tiny mosaics bounce light through the space, making the most of the room’s limited natural lighting. However, the bling effect doesn’t stop there – several features add to the room’s sparkle.
Facing page: Right from the custom entry door to the hardware, this master suite by interior designer Jason Bonham offers a luxurious retreat. Above: All that glisters – white gold mosaic tiles, gold vanity handles and even gold-plated accessories all add to a sense of sheer luxury in the high-end bathroom. In keeping with the look, the Diamond Ring chandelier is made from raw-cut and faceted natural crystals.

Many of the bathroom’s stand-out elements were custom designed by Bonham Interiors. “We created the cabinets in two types of veneer and used mirror-fronted drawers to further optimise light play. The custom handles are gold, too, as are most fixtures in the room. “Together with a crisp, sparkling appeal, the owners wanted touches of wood in the design,” says Bonham. “To this end, I designed the vanity with an external frame in ebony – this together with a charcoal strip around the narrow window are the only dark tones in the room.” The Bisazza sink was imported especially for
the project and this has faceted edges – a look carried through by Bonham on the marble countertop and even the mirrored drawer fronts. The vanity, together with a tall cabinet in the same finishes by the shower, provides ample storage. LED downlights were chosen for their accurate colour rendering, thus increasing the visible detail of the veining in the marble floors. The Diamond Ring chandelier, another sparkling feature, is made from hand-cut rock crystal. “The project is rich in detail. For example, all lines agree perfectly in the shower, and the mosaic tile runs right into the window niche.”
Facing page: With facilities shuffled around but services remaining in the same place, this project required massive behind the scenes work to achieve its glamorous aesthetic. Even lining up the shower stall ceiling tiles and brass shower stall trim was an involved task. Top and above: A bevelled edge on the basin is echoed in the faceted mirror drawer fronts and on the benchtop. And even the mirror frame and tapware are finished in gold.

Making waves This bright, white bathroom features a textural undulating tile wall and contrasting rich wenge wood surfaces Above: Room with a view – this elegant bathroom includes textural 3D tiles, rich wood surfaces and plenty of space. In the shower area, a picture window takes in the garden. Facing page: The wenge countertops have a waterfall design while the basins are recessed into the wood. Following pages: Mirrored toekicks create the illusion that the vanity is floating above the marble floor. High wall sconces offer indirect lighting.
When not one but several elements provide a stand-out feature in a bathroom design then the result is a sense of enveloping luxury. Just such a feel was requested for this 28m2 bathroom by designer Paul Bentham at Jennifer Gilmer Kitchen and Bath. A sum of its parts, the project has several key features, says Bentham. “However, the star of the renovated space is undoubtedly the undulating 3D wall tile. This creates a dramatic light and shadow play while fulfilling the agenda for a bright, white space.” Contrasting the white tiles, the tops of the vanity and central bench are in solid wenge,

with waterfall sides. The natural wood is also sealed to make the surface impervious to water. And the use of wood is continued on the framing for the huge mirror which expands the room visually and brings in light by reflecting the view out the window on the opposite wall. “The window’s white quartz frame mimics wood trim but will last forever,” says Bentham. Replacing a seldom-used tub and tub deck, the designer set a generous shower area along the back wall of the house, with the picture window at dead centre. The shower zone has three areas, including a large central rainhead.

The square rainhead showerhead is flanked by his and hers showering points at opposite ends of the zone, each with its own fixed head and hand shower, tiled bench and storage niche. “The Kohler Reve sinks are semi-recessed into the vanity benchtop,” says Bentham. “Set on tall mirrored toekicks, the vanity, bench and storage cabinet, or armoire, all appear to float above the marble floor. Under the sinks, U-shaped drawers in solid walnut allow room for plumbing while still providing storage.” The designer also added storage space under the seat bench and in the armoire.
