A Mount Maunganui home that honours its 1950s bach origins. Forté Artiste Grande in Van Gogh grounds a mid-century interior built for modern living.
How do you honour what came before, while making room for what comes next? When the original 1950s bach could no longer be saved, the clients made a deliberate choice — not to erase what was there, but to carry it forward. Working with Thorne Group, the new home draws on mid-century hallmarks: a low-slung roofline, stone wall detailing, and a warmth that captures exactly the kind of Mount Maunganui summers you remember. Inside, Gezellig's interior design holds the same balance — mid-century in character, clean and contemporary in execution. Forté Artiste Grande in Van Gogh carries that through, grounding a home that feels both rooted in the past and built for the way people live now.
