Design unlimited: Projects pushing the bounded
This issue of Homestyle magazine explores the quiet power of design decisions made with confidence rather than haste. From a boldly resolved red kitchen island that brings new life to an existing brick home, to a stone-anchored new build in Mangawhai shaped by memory and material, each project reflects a thoughtful dialogue between past, present and daily life. A rammed-earth home in Taranaki demonstrates the strength of restraint and longevity, while a precisely ordered Waiheke retreat uses geometry and mood to create a deep sense of refuge.
Together, these homes show that the most compelling architecture isn’t driven by spectacle, but by intention — design that responds to how people live, what they value, and where they’re willing to take a considered leap.
Edited, designed and published in Aotearoa
