About Services Team Office Clients

Based in Auckland, we’re a full-service interior design studio creating spaces for people and brands who value the special things.



Led by Buster Caldwell, our team brings experience in architecture, interiors, and project management.

We like to think our curiosity and commitment result in work that’s distinctive in character and built to last.

About

From our studio on Ponsonby Road, we work across projects at every stage of the journey.

Our process is hands-on and end-to-end, yet flexible enough to engage wherever we’re needed.

We collaborate with those securing new sites or reimagining existing spaces, shaping everything from architectural layout to the final layer of styling.

Services

Our process is designed to produce creative, cohesive, and finely resolved spaces.

We move through a series of clear milestones that bring calm and order to each project.

What is often a complex journey becomes a simple, collaborative sequence, carefully poised to balance creativity with order.

1

Concept

Every project starts with strong foundations.

We begin with the skeleton, resolving the practicalities before layering in detail.

This stage often involves site measures, test-fit layouts, 3D modelling, and material studies; a process of iteration that defines how the space will work and feel.

We also include preliminary budget estimations to ensure expectations are managed.

Documentation

If consents are required, we aim to submit them early in the process, before we resolve the decorative layers of design.

During this stage, our team prepare detailed drawings and specifications that describe every element with precision.

These documents guide consent approval and construction, ensuring the design intent is clearly communicated and the quality of built works are high.

3

Tender

With technical documentation complete, we issue plans to selected contractors to establish a comprehensive project budget.

While we prefer to work with trusted builders who understand our standards and methods, we also prepare formal tenders with multiple parties when required.

Our goal is always a strong site team with a contract that leaves little room for cost creep.

4

Sourcing

Our team manages the purchasing of furniture, lighting, fixtures, and materials.

We coordinate orders, deliveries, and installation details, keeping everything aligned with the design.

Access to our trade pricing and supplier network helps maintain quality and timing without complication.

5

Construction

We stay involved through the build, working closely with contractors and suppliers to ensure the design is delivered as intended.

Our role is to observe, coordinate, and resolve — keeping quality, costs, and timing on track.

It’s a practical, steady presence that carries the project from drawing to completion.

Team

Our team share a commitment to the craft and discipline that define exceptional interiors.

Together, we approach every project with curiosity and respect for the process, creating spaces that feel grounded, refined, and enduring.
