Welcome To Penberley | Penberley Project Reveal
Welcome To Penberley
Penberley, our latest project is an expression of all of our favourite design elements: layers of modern and traditional style influences, warm natural materials, and of course, all of that beautiful natural light peeking in through the windows.
Collaborating with Radius Building on the build and designed by Boyd Chamberlain Architecture, our goal was to create a relaxed, beautiful and elevated space to reflect our client’s lifestyle.
After years of sketches, swatches, and careful revisions, we couldn’t be more excited to share all of the details with you. Before we step inside, though, we’re giving you a sneak peek of the inspiration and process behind this beautiful home.
Where It All Began
Our gorgeous clients, Michelle and Martin, wanted assistance with their build to ensure all the design decisions would result in a beautiful home for their family to enjoy. We were delighted to be involved from this early planning stage and worked closely with Radius Builders and their amazing team of skilled builders.
After taking time to understand our client’s needs and vision for the project, gathering inspiration was the first step to getting started on the design process. We draw from moments in interiors, architecture, art, fashion, and nature to pull inspiration that speaks to the project. Once we had a general idea of the direction for the project, we began to compile a mood board of the key inspirations and elements to envision how everything works together.
The brief included a warm, welcoming home with dark wooden floors and building details such as feature coving in the living-kitchen ceilings and panelling in the entry, an understated, classic interior palette with feature wallpaper and pops of bright colour to keep it interesting and lively.
"The vision for Penberley was a classic timeless style with a few modern twists, a calming palette, and a few bright elements here and there."

Inspiration for the home came from the owners fabulous personalities, the home's setting with expansive views to the Southern Alps, the classic and timeless style of architecture designed by Boyd Chamberlain Architecture and the desire to craft a home with a sense of permanence and timelessness.
We were involved in all decision making including liaising with the builders, exterior colours, interior hard finishes - flooring, tiling, panelling and so on, joinery design and material selection for the kitchen, bathrooms, wardrobes and laundry, lighting, spatial design, fixtures and fittings, furniture and home furnishings.
"Mixing textures and textiles was one of our main focuses in this project.
From the timeless decor accents to the modern finish elements, it's the little details that give this new build a layered and dimensional feeling."

The Build + Architecture
Working with the right team can make all the difference in the process and result of a project. We were so lucky to work with Radius Building and Boyd Chamberlain Architecture on the architecture and build of this home to bring our client’s vision to life. With a mix of oiled cedar weatherboards, textural wood plaster finishes, feature windows, and upstairs balcony, the exterior of this home feels timeless, fresh, and welcoming.
"We work to the highest possible standards, and we build with pride and integrity.”

The Key Elements
The key elements in this project and ultimately the feel of the home, was to create a sense of the classic and timeless . Our clients for this project have teenagers, so it was important that we selected materials and finishes that felt elevated but were durable enough to last for years to come.
The build is understated, yet beautiful - we adore the restrained colour palette with pops of colour, injected with feature wallpapers to add a little personality throughout the spaces.
I thoroughly look forward to diving into this project in detail over the coming weeks. It is a home designed and built to endure trends and fads, to stand the test of time proudly and without compromise. It brought us great joy to work with such fabulous clients and builders on such a magnificent build.
