Example of a trendy open concept medium tone wood floor and brown floor living room design in Phoenix with yellow walls

When this client purchased an Auckland apartment ‘off the plans’, they wanted to put their stamp of quality on it. With considerable renovation experience and a keen eye for good design they knew how to elevate the proposed apartment fit-out to be a stand out in the development. This project went at a cracking pace and was heaps of fun! The intended aesthetic was strong, cohesive and sophisticated with the stone benchtop material as the feature. Whilst they came to Honour Creative with clear ideas of how they would like to approach the kitchen design, their clarity of vision was balanced with an openness to how to best work with their space and specific needs to create a space unique to them.

These bathrooms are composed with clean architectural clarity, balancing crisp geometry and warm materiality. Large-format stone tile wraps the walls and sloped ceilings to create a continuous, monolithic envelope, while custom millwork and floating vanities reinforce strong horizontal lines and visual order. The freestanding tub reads as a sculptural element within the space, and warm wood flooring softens the palette and grounds the composition. Brushed brass fixtures provide subtle contrast and refinement, resulting in a calm, well-proportioned interior where detailing and material transitions are deliberately restrained.

An open-concept living space framed by warm wood detailing and expansive corner glazing. Thoughtfully placed furniture, light hardwood floors, and clean modern lines create a calm, welcoming environment that flows naturally between levels. Large windows bring the surrounding landscape into the home, reinforcing the strong indoor-outdoor connection that defines this Oakville custom build.

Natural elements were generously incorporated into this beautiful custom pool design. Grecian inspiration can seen in every facet of the outdoor space, capturing a sense of tranquility and relaxation. Using flagstone and boulder accents creates texture and visually strong features.The soft blue hues of the water are reminiscent of the waters surrounding the Greek Islands. There are multiple entry points into the pool including a flagstone sun shelf, flagstone steps, and stepping ledge.

The covered entry at Quiet Escape by Fox Construction features a dramatic timber-framed gable supported by heavy wood posts set on natural stone piers. Exposed wood soffits, dark siding, and the open pavilion-style structure create a strong mountain contemporary arrival while framing views of the surrounding landscape.

Our team focused on building a strong foundation for a luxury bathroom design that combines functionality, comfort, and contemporary aesthetics.

This client in Maple wanted a strong impact of lighting, so instead of the usual garden fixture shapes used wide-effect up-lights to create shadow shapes with real "pop". We alternated the wide up-lights with solid copper half-moon sconces on the fence, to wash the patio with lighting to remove trip hazards and add texture. An important element of contemporary back yard lighting design is to light seating areas obliquely, to avoid feeling "on display" while dining outdoors among tall adjacent homes.

Modern, single-story custom home with clean, contemporary lines and a refined material palette. The exterior combines light stucco walls, natural stone masonry, and dark metal roofing, creating strong contrast and visual depth. A prominent stone entry volume anchors the façade, while large, dark-framed windows add a sleek, minimalist feel and allow for natural light. The home features a flat and low-slope metal roof design, a spacious driveway, and an integrated garage that blends seamlessly with the architecture. Subtle exterior lighting and simple landscaping enhance the modern aesthetic without overpowering it. Overall, the design reflects modern luxury, durability, and thoughtful craftsmanship, suited for a high-end residential setting.
