VISION AND NEEDS: Our client came to us with a vision for their family dream house that offered adequate space and a lot of character. They were drawn to the traditional form and contemporary feel of a Modern Farmhouse. MCHUGH SOLUTION: In showing multiple options at the schematic stage, the client approved a traditional L shaped porch with simple barn-like columns. The entry foyer is simple in it's two-story volume and it's mono-chromatic (white & black) finishes. The living space which includes a kitchen & dining area - is an open floor plan, allowing natural light to fill the space.

A white 66" freestanding tub takes up less physical and visual space than the previous built-in tub and allowed for an expanded shower. The original layout had the sinks on opposite sides of the room. Joining the sinks in a single vanity over 8' allowed the space for a huge linen closet. Custom wainscoting keeps the traditional feel of the rest of the home

Our Pretty in Pink ensuite is a result of what you can create from dead space within a home. Previously, this small space was part of an under utilised master bedroom sun room & hall way cupboard. The brief for this ensuite was to create a trendy bathroom that was soft with a splash of colour that worked cohesively with the grey and blue tonings seen throughout the 60’s home. The challenge was to take a space with no existing plumbing, and an angled wall, and transform it into a beautiful ensuite. Before we could look at the colours and finishes, careful planning was done in conjunction with the plumber and architect for consent. We meticulously worked through the aesthetics of the room by starting with the selection of Grey & White tiles, creating a timeless base to the scheme. The custom-made vanity and the Resene Wafer wall give the space a pop of colour, while the stone top and soft grey basin break up the black tapware.

The master bathroom is large with plenty of built-in storage space and double vanity. The countertops carry on from the kitchen. A large freestanding tub sits adjacent to the window next to the large stand-up shower. The floor is a dark great chevron tile pattern that grounds the lighter design finishes.
