Auburn Woods Retreat, designed by Natasha Rocca Devine of NRD Design Studio, exemplifies luxurious, sustainable interiors that combine modern design with natural materials and eco-friendly features. Every element has been carefully curated to achieve a balance between comfort, style, and environmental responsibility.

The open-plan living areas highlight natural light and clean lines, with high-quality finishes throughout. Cosentino’s carbon-neutral surfaces are integrated into the kitchen and bathrooms, while SONAS Bathrooms provide water-saving solutions. A palette of earthy tones, reclaimed materials, and organic fabrics reinforces the sustainable ethos. Wooden flooring, upcycled furniture, and bespoke joinery sit alongside locally crafted accessories, creating interiors that support artisans and ethical production.

NRD Design Studio has achieved a sophisticated, Soho House-inspired aesthetic, where exclusivity and luxury are paired with a relaxed, homely atmosphere. Plush textures, custom furnishings, and a blend of vintage and contemporary pieces give each space a timeless appeal. The living areas and bedrooms are designed for both relaxation and entertaining, with technology integrated discreetly to enhance everyday living.

The sustainable design extends to energy-efficient systems, sedum roofs, and electric vehicle charging points. The retreat captures the heritage of Auburn House, built in 1820, while embracing modern eco-conscious living.

Auburn Woods Retreat sets a new benchmark in the area, reflecting the award-winning expertise of NRD Design Studio. With superior finishes, thoughtful layouts, and a serene atmosphere, it is both a luxury residence and a retreat. The project demonstrates the studio’s commitment to design that is elegant, sustainable, and enduring.
