Kitchen & Bathroom Issue

Kitchens and bathrooms are, arguably, the most consequential rooms in the home — and almost always the first to be considered. Whether approached through renovation or new build, their design has the power to recalibrate how a home is lived in and experienced. For this issue, our guest editor, Mardi Doherty, principal of Studio Doherty, explores what it truly means to transform these pivotal spaces — and why thoughtful design in kitchens and bathrooms delivers dividends far beyond the purely functional. Her insights both as an architect and as her own client give an open and honest account of the thinking behind creating a home.

Ohtel, Wellington

Australia

Forget hobbits and hills. New Zealand’s hip new boutique hotel is a destination for the style savvy traveller.

Ohtel perches on a cliffside at the end of Wellington’s Oriental Parade. It’s contemporary 4 storey structure stands overlooking a jutting marina, the harbour waters of Oriental Bay and the Waitangi Park. This 10-room boutique hotel sits adjacent to Wellington’s principal entertainment precinct and is en route to the city from the international airport.

 

 

Praised for its Mid-Century furnishings, Ohtel offers a combination of modern and retro interior furnishings and unique Kiwi décor. Eclectic wall clocks and paintings provide a bright interior aesthetic, whilst timber furnishings maintain the warmth of a cosy holiday getaway.

 

 

 

The key design feature of each room design is the bathroom, built with stretched glass walls and a luxurious two-person bath and shower. In winter, guests can illuminate the contemporary low-sitting fireplace and enjoy the underfloor heating.

 

 

 

With a tagline ‘Ohtel, Get a Room’, you know this place is going to be funky. Pack your trendiest threads and jet off to Australia’s nextdoor neighbour this holiday season.
