By the time this magazine goes to print, New Zealand would have elected a Prime Minister. Regardless of the result, one thing that everyone agrees on is that the lack of housing in our main cities is and will continue to be one of the most challenging and urgent topics for those now in power. Of a lesser urgency but of more relevance to this magazine is the country’s lack of another form of accommodation: hotels. This issue of Interior began as a peek at what the hotel industry is doing to accommodate an increasing number of tourists to our shores. The sector seems to be in overdrive and forecasts point to an equally positive outlook. Colliers International, for example, recently stated that “strong market fundamentals together with high profile…

REBECCA ZEPHYR THOMAS Photographer Rebecca is a photographer, writer and digital content creative. She visited Auckland eateries Kiss Kiss and Happy Boy (page 62). WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO WRITE AND PHOTOGRAPH THIS STORY? I have known the restaurant’s co-owner Celeste since she was a little kid and am really impressed with how she, Ludo and Jasper are making a fresh and exciting contribution to the Auckland dining scene. Their restaurants Kiss Kiss and Happy Boy are making innovative design (and food) an affordable option for Aucklanders. All three are incredibly hard-working as well as creative. what was your fave detail while shooting this piece? Probably all the little details that the trio add. For instance, the hand wipes at Kiss Kiss each come perfectly packaged, cute enough to want…

Inside is a three-day, global event (15–17 November) for interior design professionals and architects that combines awards, live judging, conferences and networking opportunities. The awards section of the festival is expected to select winners in nine categories (Bars and Restaurants, Civic, Culture and Transport; Creative Re-use; Display; Health and Education; Hotels; Offices; Residential; Retail). Local firm Warren and Mahoney is a finalist in the Creative Re-use category for the interior of Mason Bros. (featured in Interior issue 23). Pictured left is our selection of the best hotel interiors from the festival. Inside is co-located within the World Architecture Festival (WAF) – a similar event focusing on exemplary architecture from around the globe. 14 New Zealand projects by nine architecture firms have been selected as finalists. insidefestival.com…

CO-WORKING BUZZ

Businesses can rent a space within the building that is the exact size needed for their operation, and these spaces can then expand or retract with the growth of the business using custom-designed movable separators. Each floor has all the equipment needed to run a business, including break-out spaces, kitchen, a concierge, cleaning services, meeting rooms and private phone booths. All businesses can use the facilities on any floor, giving plenty of variation and opportunities for collaboration. Smales Farm CEO Paul Gunn says that co-working is not new but is growing exponentially, and he expects the B:Hive to make a large contribution to this growth. “The concept here is slightly different because instead of appealing only to early subscribers like tech start-ups, we’re offering something that works for corporates as…

CO-WORKING BUZZ

Sugar Lane Studio in Auckland’s North Shore suburb of Birkenhead could be seen as epitomising the modern workplace. Rather than being created for a specific mode of work, the office is highly flexible, with the capability to cater to multiple work environments and host social events. Created by Think & Shift for New Shoots Children’s Centre, which does architectural builds and high-design fit-outs for the childcare sector, the space features a long desk that allows for different users to work in an inclusive environment. This includes a standing desk that overlaps with the meeting table, explains Think & Shift Creative Director James McNab. “The bar leaner slides on a track system and the other table slots in underneath so that they can either extend from the kitchen and be used…

INTERIOR AWARDS

Designers, architects and commercial interior professionals were out in party mode at the 2017 Interior Awards night, held at the Metropolis Museum in central Auckland on 29 June. Over 350 people attended the sociable and highly entertaining evening, which featured award-winning Mt. Difficulty wines, Sawmill Brewery beers and delicious Blue Duck vodka and Black Robin gin cocktails. TV personality Jeremy Corbett emceed, accompanied by stunning visual effects by motion graphic artists Mulk. The big winner on the night was McKinney+Windeatt Architects for the design of Amano restaurant in Britomart, which was awarded the Supreme and Hospitality awards. For a full list of the award winners, see the website. interiorawards.co.nz…

How would you describe your design ethos? Kristina O’Neal (KO): We believe in making truly connected experiences where meaning and purpose is mined in every aspect of a hospitality project. It’s a very holistic vision of hospitality, and to achieve it, we’ve created several divisions within the company that can really surround a project, from strategy and branding, interiors and architecture, furniture and lighting design and production to operations and menu development. Your firm is very collaborative with little hierarchy. Why and what does your business gain from such a management structure? William Harris (WH): While we do encourage unbridled collaboration, we do still have hierarchy within the studios as this helps young designers grow and more seasoned staff to be mentors and drive projects effectively. Amongst the partners we…

This glamorous yet gritty room is the home of Studio C, a collaboration between a boutique menswear tailor, Blair Wheeler, and hairdresser Devo Peng. Jessica Blair of Jessica Blair Design was asked to transform the large industrial space in downtown Auckland into something of a ‘craftman’s community.’ She explains: “I was invited to come up with a layout and design for the salon that complemented the tailor’s space. Devo asked for something with theatre that was special and a little unexpected. Flexibility was also a requirement so the space could be transformed for fashion shows and gallery exhibitions.” Circular mirrors are suspended on steel plates welded to a sculptural framework of pipes, which are free-standing and bolted to the concrete. “We had a technical session involving a sample salon chair…

GEM IN THE DUNES

PROJECT: Tara Iti Golf Club – Clubhouse CLIENTS: Tara Iti Golf Club LOCATION: Mangawhai , Northland DESIGN: Cheshire Architects, Herringbone Design (USA) PROJECT TYPE: Hospitality, Retail FLOOR AREA: 475m2 THERE is a stunning entry sequence at the clubhouse of the Tara Iti Golf Course in Mangawhai (pictured on previous page). It is a simple space yet highly considered and, in a way, synthesises some of the key design drivers that make the place so welcoming: the juxtaposition of raw and highly polished materials, the many connections between the interior and the land that surrounds it, and the need to make a high visual impact on a small site. The entry hall in question consists of a wall (plastered with local sand) on the left, traversed by the downward trajectory of…

RUFFLE YOUR TAIL FEATHER

PROJECT: Naumi Hotel Auckland Airport CLIENT: Gaurang Jhunjhnuwala LOCATION: Auckland PROJECT TYPE: Hospitality FLOOR AREA: 10,500m2 ABSOLUTELY no white’ was a key directive from the client to Material Creative and Ellery Muir & Associates when they took on the refurbishment of Naumi Hotel. Not a small ask when you consider the vast, iconic hotel (originally the Grand Chancellor Hotel Auckland Airport) has over 200 suites, four conference rooms, lounge, bar, restaurant and a plethora of circulation spaces. But the unique directive is indicative of the client’s propensity to push the envelope – and perhaps of his wicked sense of humour – also charmingly evident in the redesign of the space. The Singapore-based operator also wanted the hotel to have a boutique feel in contrast to its grand proportions, have a…

FORTIFIED LUXURY

PROJECT: The Lodge at the Kinloch Club CLIENTS: Southpark Corp LOCATION: Taupo DESIGN: Andrew Patterson, Virginia Fisher PROJECT TYPE: Hospitality FLOOR AREA: 1,200m2 LOCATED on the edge of Lake Taup? and with views across the revered, Jack Nicklaus-designed Kinloch Club golf course to the central plateau, Kinloch Lodge is highly exposed to wind, which funnels up the lake. The tussocky landscape and geology of the area inspired the golf course design, which in turn inspired architect Andrew Patterson to design the main building as a kind of embattlement, which appears steeped in history despite being only a year old. Stone wraps around the outside of the building, shielding it from the prevailing southerlies that come off the lake. Courtyards open to the north on the other side of the building,…

FORTIFIED LUXURY

HAPPY BOY HAPPY BOY IS THE FOURTH AND MOST RECENT VENTURE FROM A YOUNG, Auckland-based trio (Celeste Thornley and Jasper and Ludo Maignot, more on them on page 66) creating social-media-ready, inexpensive and impactful interiors made from an excellent usage of colour and graphic design. Happy Boy, which opened in July 2017, stands out from its Royal Oak neighbours by being a clean, simple, but glowing, blue box. According to Jasper, the area is “old money but with young suburbs around it. Epsom’s old money, but Onehunga has all the young parents. There was a huge gap in the market here.” As such, the interior of Happy Boy is based on pop culture references that many children of the 80s and 90s would hold dear. There are hints at classic…

Associate at Space Studio This assembly of materials is about being futuristic in form and colour, while intensely tactile and warm in texture. The starting point was the new Formica, AR Touch. A few months ago, Kathie, our Laminex rep, dropped off the new product and it has a super matte surface, which is almost like a rubber tile to the touch. It’s soft and fingertips leave no trace. Surprisingly it’s also suitable for horizontal surfaces. This product promises to solve a lot of the detailing challenges we face each day. For the hotel and hospitality projects we work on, the guest needs to feel like they are the first person to ever use that space; so, little scratches and finger prints are a big challenge. Our selections need to…

IN-HOUSE SPACE STUDIO

It’s Friday morning in the upper Parnell Road offices of Space Studio and there’s a friendly hum of activity in the air. The company, which specialises in hotel design, has a good number of projects on its books, both locally and in the South Pacific. They have just moved into this space from a previous office down the road. The new offices used to belong to My Food Bag and have a few remaining features, such as a full working kitchen which the food delivery company used to use for a show kitchen. Senior Associate Helen Darroch shows me around the offices, which feature clerestory windows that meet the slanted ceiling, bringing plenty of natural light into the space. The colour scheme is mainly warm timbers with charcoalcoloured walls and…

IN-HOUSE SPACE STUDIO

SURE, THERE IS AN ELEMENT OF EMOTIONAL detachment to train travel, a certain understanding that the scenery beyond the carriage windows and the experiences they might represent can never be ‘possessed’ seeing as they are continuously moving, fleeting and in many cases innacessible by any other form of transport. Muza Lab, the London-based designers of The Belmond Andean Explorer – a train traversing parts of the famous Peruvian mountain ranges – were well aware of the peculiar temporal qualities of this project. “The interiors were intended to tap into the train journey’s dreamlike sense of suspended time,” says Inge Moore, founder of Muza Lab. “Palettes, textures and patterns were shaped by the local flora and fauna. They create a sense of calm; a counterpoint to the vibrant panorama outside and…

GREEN STAR RISING

Amelia Melbourne-Hayward (AMH): What are the biggest achievements the organisation has made during your tenure? Andrew Eagles (AE): We’ve spent a good amount of time asking the sector very openly about what they want and what’s important to them. We’ve made significant changes as a result – this year we are changing Homestar®; we’re bringing in new tools: Green Star – Communities and Green Star – Performance; and we’re introducing a new rating tool for existing homes next April. Some of these new changes are really significant in terms of scale. Previously, Green Star impacted on 20 to 50 buildings a year, but now Green Star – Performance allows us to go after tens of thousands of existing buildings. This year is about delivering the tools that the sector asks…

GREEN STAR RISING

What I’m listening to Songhoy Blues is one of my all-time favourite bands and their new album Resistance is pretty near on repeat these days. Formed in 2015 in Timbuktu, Mali, where music and other forms of cultural expression were, until recently, outlawed by Jihadist rule. Songhoy Blues make African-desert-punk-blues as a form of cultural rebellion. Where I’m going My wife and I are headed on a trip to the States later this year, stopping in LA and New York. We’re doing all the standard design stops, but I am particularly looking forward to the unlikely attraction of an abandoned town on the coast of the Salton Sea. Once a hot spot rivalling Palm Springs, this coastal town was left to decay after the lake began to rapidly evaporate. It…
