_The Nest
RENOVATION / Grey Lynn
The Nest is a two-bedroom Grey Lynn townhouse reimagined as a healthy, high-performing home in a prime central Auckland location. Severe water ingress had compromised much of the interior - mould, damage, and an unhealthy environment required a complete reset.
Good_Space led the interior design and delivery, coordinating trades to rebuild the home from the inside out. A new kitchen was introduced, low-tox material selections prioritised wellbeing, and each space resolved to feel calm, cohesive + quietly elevated.
Designed as a strategic pre-sale renovation, the focus was to create something distinctive yet accessible to the market. Fully staged by Good_Space, The Nest sold quickly above expectations and above CV - demonstrating the value of thoughtful, wellness-led design + high-end styling.

“505 Construction was grateful for the opportunity to work with Jade and learn how to approach house renovations considering Wellness Architecture.
It was a refreshing experience to have a client so knowledgeable in the tools to maximise the potential for space through light, sound and nature.
The Villa is still one of our favourite projects to reference due it’s strong aesthetics and design principles. We look forward to working with Good_Space again in the near future.”
