Expect the unexpected.
Balance is the key to success both in general and in interiors, and the set-up pictured here at Auckland’s The Village has it sussed. Work, life and wellbeing are the pillars that prop up this co-working, community and event space in Herne Bay. By Sophie Gilmour, Louise Graham and Stacey O’Gorman, it supports its members to manage all three in a villa renovated in collaboration with interior designers Mijntje Lepoutre and Jess White. These women have elevated the concept of co-working with an inviting and optimistic space full of unexpected colours and bold but simple forms. It’s intended to feel like a home away from home, and you can work on the look at your actual home with this stuff:
