Water Meets Sky: A Tranquil Backyard Escape

Our Projects
Written By Kim Manunui

A modern pool designed to blur the lines between built and natural environments. With minimal fencing and a reflective surface, it draws the eye toward the ocean beyond—creating a peaceful, seamless connection to the landscape.

 

Tucked against the client’s home, this beautiful pool project was carefully designed to create harmony between structure and nature. With minimal fencing and a sleek, elevated edge, the pool adheres to the key part of the client’s brief, to mirror the colour of the sea in the foreground. This was done simply with our colour Coromandel, with an added sparkle to capture how the light plays on the waves.

The simplicity of the modern, dark-toned home is complemented by the pool’s clean lines and reflective surface. Each element—from the subdued decking to the discreet boundary—works in unison to maintain a clear, unobstructed view of the lush trees and distant blue waters. The result is a tranquil retreat where indoor and outdoor living merge effortlessly.

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.
