Light and Bright
An extensive refurbishment of an existing dwelling, this project was driven by a client with a clear vision to unlock the full potential of its prime position. Ceilings were raised to create a greater sense of volume, while a bright, fresh palette leans into a relaxed coastal feel—highlighted by crisp blue tiles in the bathrooms. Every space was maximised to ensure thoughtful storage, accommodating family gatherings and future visits from grandchildren. The design also provides a considered backdrop for a treasured art collection, allowing each piece to shine. Original solid tawa timber flooring was retained and restored, honouring the era of the home while seamlessly blending past and present.

The Process
Creating this home was a true collaboration between the Twill design team, the architect, and the client. From the initial concept sketches through to the final walk-through, every detail was considered to ensure the exterior and interior worked in harmony.
Early Design Workshops
We began with a series of design workshops to understand how the clients wanted to live in the space — what mattered most to them day-to-day, and how we could reflect that in the finishes and layout.
Material Selection
Choosing the right materials was key to achieving the warm yet modern look. The cedar cladding was carefully sourced and treated to age gracefully over time, while the crisp architectural features add a sense of structure and sophistication.
Bringing the Vision to Life
We believe good design should feel effortless. For this project, that meant managing every element — big and small — to ensure the final home looked and felt exactly as the client envisioned.
Attention to Detail
From the placement of each exterior panel to the soft landscaping surrounding the home, our team worked closely with builders and trades to deliver flawless results.
Finishing Touches
With the exterior complete, the final styling layered in texture and subtle contrasts, tying the overall design together. The end result is a home that feels warm, welcoming, and deeply connected to its surroundings — exactly as the clients had imagined.
