A 1960s home that raised a family has been converted by Jane and Arch MacDonnell to house their design studio.
Jane MacDonnell— We started up Inhouse back in 1994 when I got pregnant. We wanted to have our baby with us and didn’t want to put her into daycare and go off to different jobs. So we started in the front room of our house in Kingsland, hence the name. Then we got a bit bigger, we moved to a studio in Ponsonby, then Britomart. While we loved it there, we yearned for a more domestic setting where life and work could coalesce seamlessly.
Arch MacDonnell— An opportunity presented itself to relocate from the city to the leafy suburbs – a small original 60s house in Birkenhead backing onto Le Roys Bush. We thought it would be great to go back to our origins.
JM— We are such a small company, a family business in a way, so the semi-domestic setting appealed to us. We often work into the night, so having a home-y flavor to the place is perfect.
