In the latest stage of The Close in Paihia, we designed a retreat that captures attention and sparks conversation.

A tired early-2000s kitchen, reimagined into a timeless, modern space. Step inside Ruru Lane and see how thoughtful design, bespoke details, and handcrafted lighting brought this home back to life.

Discover the 2025 bed styling trend that’s all about simplicity. One cushion, quality linen, and a calm, clutter-free look you’ll actually want to live with.

The cult-status soap bottle that once defined good taste is being quietly retired. Explore the next wave of design-forward hand soaps bringing fresh appeal to contemporary bathrooms and kitchens in 2025.

Overlooking the stunning Bay of Islands, The Close is a visionary short-stay project brought to life by Newton Kay. With creative freedom and an eye for balance, the team transformed two architecturally designed homes into soulful, high-end holiday rentals.

Looking to refresh your kitchen without a full renovation? These simple styling updates—from greenery and artwork to lighting and tapware—can breathe new life into your space with minimal effort and maximum impact.
