A Visual Feast

Our Projects
Written By Kim Manunui

With the clever use of different materials and heights both around and within the pool, this renovation is a visual feast of modern minimal – and functional – design.

For these clients a total do over was needed to bring their pool in line with their vision for a modern, cohesive entertaining area. This included removing external steps to the pool, extending the length of pool, and creating a shallow area with stepping stone plinths across – which creates visual depth and adds multiple spaces for family play. Talk about two birds!

A water feature was also key to the brief, so an additional taller mosaic wall was built along the garden boundary wall, which created another layer of visual interest – juxtaposing the roughness of the slate wall with the polish of the tiles, the varying heights, and the softness of the waterfall feature. The result is visual feast, while retaining a minimal in style with clean, modern lines.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
