About Us
Interior Design Studio
N · O · T · E Space Studio is an Auckland-based interior design studio founded in 2026.
While newly established, our team brings over 10 years of local industry experience.
We believe that every space begins with a clear need.
N · O · T · E is more than just a name — it reflects our design approach:
from Needs, through Optimisation, grounded in Technical resolution, and ultimately shaped into a complete Experience.
We specialise in commercial retail and hospitality interiors, offering a full-service approach from concept design and building consent and exemption, through to project delivery.
We value clear communication and efficient execution, ensuring our designs are not only visually refined, but also practical, buildable, and aligned with our clients’ real needs.
Whether it’s a small-scale fit-out or a full spatial transformation, we aim to turn every idea into a thoughtful, well-resolved space.

Design That Works
We have over 10 years of experience in commercial interior design, working across hospitality, retail, healthcare, and office spaces.
No matter the budget, we focus on making the most of it. Whether it’s a small fit-out or a full project, we aim to create spaces that are practical, well-designed, and worth the investment.
At the concept stage, we provide plans and visuals to give your shop a clear direction from the start. We place strong emphasis on how the space works in everyday use, making sure function and aesthetics are considered together.
As the design develops, we prepare detailed construction drawings to support the build and ensure everything is delivered as intended.
We also place strong importance on timing. We coordinate with equipment lead times and overseas procurement when needed, helping to keep everything on track and avoid delays.
Our goal is to support a smooth and well-prepared opening, with no surprises along the way.
Commercial Building Consent
& BC Exemption
From Design to Approval
Not sure if your shop needs council approval, or what actually requires consent? We can help you figure it out.
Based on your project, we provide a clear breakdown of what is needed. This includes fire, ventilation, structure, and other requirements. We take the time to explain everything, so you understand the process and what to expect.
Our advantage is that we combine this with interior design from the start. This helps resolve potential issues early and avoids unnecessary costs that are often missed.
We also work around your opening timeline and plan the application process accordingly, so things stay on track.
