Inside, the Regency narrative continues through proportion, symmetry, and thoughtful architectural moments. A re-configured octagonal entry atrium sets the tone, its inviting pair of “Hollywood-in-the-30s” curved banquettes offering both glamour and comfort.

Nearby, a small study reveals another clever detail — sliding mirrored panels, operated remotely, that discreetly conceal the television. A reminder that in the most thoughtfully designed houses, even modern necessities are handled with grace🤌🏻🤍

Since 1964, visionary gardener Beverly McConnell has been quietly transforming 14 acres of farmland into what is now one of New Zealand’s most admired gardens⛲️

Ayrlies, just outside Auckland, unfolds across rolling lawns, winding waterways, and dramatic subtropical plantings, anchored by an extraordinary collection of mature trees🌳

Bubbling brooks tumble over rocky waterfalls throughout the property, feeding a series of serene ponds🌱🌊

Water, islands, peninsulas, isthmuses, coves and endless parks unfold in every direction from Auckland’s dramatic 1,076-foot Sky Tower. Completed in 1997, the landmark was engineered to withstand even a magnitude 8.0 earthquake - an important consideration for a city resting atop a chain of dormant volcanoes 🌋🗼

On Everglades Island, a slender stretch of land just off Palm Beach, sits I1 Cortile - a residence that embraces the Mediterranean Revival tradition for which the island is known.

Inspired by the work of architect George Washington Smith in Montecito, the home was designed in collaboration with interior designer Betsy Shiverick and architect Richard Sammons.

From the herringbone brick forecourt that leads into the central courtyard to the lush loggias and quiet fountain at its heart, the house unfolds with the romance and symmetry of a classic Mediterranean villa🌊

Perched above Dior’s Rodeo Drive boutique, Monsieur Dior by @dominiquecrenn opened last fall as an intimate Michelin-starred rooftop dining room. Designed by Peter Marino, the space blends Dior Home accoutrements with refined cuisine. A welcome treat during my brief layover to NZ ✈️🥂
