Kapiti architectural office

Designed by an architect for her own home, this office carries the same clear design language through into a calm, highly considered workspace.

The joinery combines natural birch plywood with Polaris Ultra-Matt Black, balancing the warmth of exposed timber with a clean, architectural finish. A floating 3 meter long black desk is paired with custom birch storage and shelving, creating a practical workspace without making the room feel heavy.

A standout detail is the 36mm natural birch floating shelf with integrated LED lighting, adding both warmth and function while keeping the overall design minimal and refined.

Simple materials, carefully detailed — resulting in a workspace that feels purposeful, cohesive and completely at home within the wider project.
