Colour, Craft, and Calm: The Art of High-End Living by the team at Sarsfield Brooke.

With so many rich layers to uncover, the spectacular Bay of Plenty House warranted a return visit—a second look to fully appreciate the visionary creativity of its owners. Seamlessly blending bold colour, luxurious texture, and considered design, this home is a masterclass in creating harmony between calm and vibrancy.

Purchased and renovated while the owners were still living offshore, the transformation was guided in collaboration with acclaimed architects Stufkens & Chambers. Once home, the owners fully embraced the interior styling journey—working closely with the Sarsfield Brooke team to craft a residence that is both effortlessly sophisticated and deeply personal.

Every element was considered by the team: from custom rugs and headboards designed and made locally, and marble-topped bedside tables, to reimagined existing pieces and globally sourced, custom specified furnishings from Sarsfield Brookes suppliers in Italy and Germany. The result is a truly bespoke environment that balances artful luxury with real-world comfort—perfect for both lively entertaining and serene solitude.

From enveloping media rooms to gallery-like entryways, and perfectly framed views that turn windows into artworks, the Bay of Plenty House is not just a home, but a living showcase of design excellence.
