A large square window showcased on one of the walls was so large that it wasn’t able to be produced within New Zealand and had to be shipped in from overseas.

In one of the bathrooms, black subway tiles line the wall, while graphic black and white tiles are featured on the floor. A floating wood vanity adds a natural element, and the freestanding bathtub is positioned in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
