Samantha Elliot

Interior Architect, Green Room Studio, working in collaboration with Interior DB Ltd.

- Samantha grew up on a high country station in South Canterbury and holds a Bachelor of Design (Interiors) from Otago Polytechnic. Samantha enjoys working alongside clients to create spaces that, put simply, look good and work well.

- Samantha is inspired by modernists such as Case Study architects Richard Neutra and Pierre Koenig. Closer to home, she admires the Brian Brake house, a Titirangi masterpiece designed by architect Ron Sang. While she also takes her design cues from Scandinavian styling – plywood is a favourite - she balances this pared-back aesthetic with elements of comfort and lots of greenery.

- A creative thinker with a considered approach, she enjoys the process of working with clients to guide them through innovative ideas to achieve a personalised result that suits their lifestyle.
