Natasha, Interior Designer from DESIGNNZ, based in Auckland

I’ve been working with Maddren Homes for a few years now and I really enjoy collaborating with them. They are an amazing team to work with and we bounce ideas of each other. When Keegan was starting with concepts and showing me the ideas for the show home I got really excited and was honoured to be a part of this project. It was really important to create a cohesive home for someone in the future to live in while also showcasing some special features and making it a little bit different, and I think we’re all really happy with what we’ve created.

It was really cool to do some rooms that are a bit moody and different and then showcase some other styles, such as the main bathroom, which is a bit lighter and airier for kids. My favourite rooms are probably the ensuite with the special, custom-built make-up desk, –which was Keegan’s idea and then I helped to bring it to life – and then the powder room is pretty special as well, with an amazing wallpaper made in New Zealand and designed in New Zealand. The feature lighting is also one of my favourite things. The pendant light above the kitchen island is a pretty special feature and something you don’t see every day.
