This year I have had the pleasure of working on a project very different to any other I’ve undertaken – the design of Auckland’s first co-living space, The COH. A concept popular in big cities around the world, co-living is the trend of living with other like-minded people in a space that encourages its residents to interact together and create community. This version of communal living is designed with young working professionals in mind, each having their own bedroom but sharing kitchen and living spaces.
Prompted by a move back to Auckland my clients undertook a substantial renovation of their home in Glendowie – a late 1960’s weatherboard and concrete home with the bones and potential to cater for a busy family’s varied needs. It has been a joy to join them on their renovation journey and help bring their dreams and visions for their reinvented home to life.
