Working harmoniously with the clients on their wish list for this lifestyle home in rural Manawatu included maximizing views, plenty of northern sun light and open plan living with good outdoor flow. The clients knew exactly the style of home they wanted, a home that offered great open plan family living and entertaining. The interior design incorporated many original ideas. Interior colours, fittings and furnishings were carefully considered to reflect the owners’ lifestyle and personality. Palette was engaged to select finishes and fittings, provide all cabinetry and select all furnishing and accessories. Palette was also part of the project management team and managed all procurement of interior fit-out items. Working closely with the client, the architect and a very talented builder, has resulted in a home that has truly captured their way of life.
