This creative couples home, perched amid a kanuka glade, has a relaxing, open-plan living area that makes the most of its treetop vista
Jocelyn Closs and Ryan MacPherson call their Titirangi, Auckland, home a “tree house”. With its modern stained ply exterior, mono-pitched roof and surf-beach-inspired interior, this house has the laid back vibe of a cosy hideaway far from the city.
With backgrounds in advertising and fashion in New Zealand and Canada, it’s no surprise Jocelyn and Ryan have a highly evolved sense of style, as does Camp Cloon, the popular dogwear brand they started in 2015 and named after their beloved cavoodle (a poodle x Cavalier King Charles Spaniel cross), Clooney.
What do you love most about your home?
RM: We’ve lived here for five years and, over that time, have had a blast putting our stamp on it – from flooring inside to decking outside. I love that we have really made it our own. JC: We’re only 25 minutes from the CBD and yet we’re completely immersed in native flora and fauna here – we absolutely love coming home to our relaxing retreat after a busy day.
How would you describe your interior style?
JC: We like to keep things simple but really value texture and colour. We’ve always liked the modern, bohemian aesthetic you see in places like Byron Bay – open, bright and beachy with greenery, muted tones and lots of natural accents like wood, linen and leather.
