For anyone, who thinks design is just a brief at the start and a finished project at the end… it’s rarely that simple 🙄.
Design lives in the process — the ideas, iterations, challenges, and refinements along the way.
Remember our last post? Here’s what that journey turned into a few months later.
Happy client, happy life 🙂!

After months of dedication, we’re excited to share a glimpse of this truly one-of-a-kind project. The scale of the project is immense, and the level of detail required has pushed us further than ever before — a challenge we’ve embraced and genuinely enjoyed.
We strongly believe that every great project is the result of a powerful collaboration: a visionary client, a skilled builder, and a thoughtful architect. This project is a perfect reflection of that synergy.
Here’s our first version, and we’re now refining what we hope will be the final amendments. Stay tuned — the best is yet to come!

We haven’t been very active on socials lately… But for a good reason 🙂!
As we approach the end of this financial year, we couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible year spacelab. has had — we’ve broken all our records!
We promise to share more insights with you soon, but for now, here’s a little glimpse of what’s keeping us busy: three amazing show homes currently under construction for a fantastic housing company, designed by spacelab. for an incredible group of people across the country.
More to come soon ✨

From ‘90s classic to modern stunner!

Our Tauranga clients were ready to give their ‘90s home a serious glow-up.
We added a brand-new master suite and a media room wing—plus a big dose of mojo.
They’re loving the transformation… and yep, we’re pretty obsessed too! 🙌

Crafting another dream home… 🔥

‘’Limitation makes the creative mind inventive.”

We’ve designed this home to connect with its surroundings. It’s grounded, sitting effortlessly on the sloped site and making the most of the stunning views the section provides.
A family home in Christchurch for a returning client — here’s to more projects like this in 2025.

Another stunning concept in the books! 🔥 2025 is already shaping up to be a big year for us 🙌
Set high above with sweeping views of Porirua Harbour, this 4-bedroom family home features soaring raking ceilings, a spacious scullery complete with wine fridge, and two generous living areas. And yes—even the bath comes with a sea view! 😍

The client initially ordered an altered standard plan, but halfway through, they decided they wanted something more architectural. With spacelab., that's no problem! We make it simple to transition from draughting to architectural services whenever needed. Can your design company do the same? 🤔
If not, reach out to us! We’re committed to delivering 10/10 client satisfaction every time.
