Thandi Tipene
Spatial & Interior Designer / Director
A constant source of inspiration for Thandi is nature and the sea. She has an appreciation for organic architecture and creating interior design schemes based around authentic stories, materials and hand made objects.
Cohesively connecting site, house and our clients from the start to the finish and through the use of thoughtful touchpoints throughout is a key focus within her designs.
‘’Good design should inspire the dweller and the visitor and should function effortlessly with an enduring sense of style. We should always design a home in consideration to its immediate surroundings and further and to celebrate the home by looking outward rather than only internally.’’
- Thandi Tipene
Thandi studied a Bachelor of Spatial Design in Auckland before working in Australia for a design firm. After eighteen months she returned home and started Thandi Jazmine Design which has been operating for ten years.

‘’Every home we create will essentially be an extension of the site and sit harmoniously upon it. Neither nature or building commanding authority over the other.’’
