Rezharco Doria
I’ve been an interior architect for over two decades and have enjoyed every element of the creative process.
I’ve found that the true art of design is experiential. Creating spaces, environments and buildings should be about the individual, the user and the human element.
I specialise in Hospitality & Retail design due to my love for the industries. I have worked for numerous hotel chains and I use this ‘first hand’ experience to inform my design process.
I believe in working with my client and my team to create special, uniquely stimulating designed environments. I am not a showboater, a hero designer, a know it all. I am a believer in making our environment better, plain and simple.

I’ve wanted to be a creative, a designer all my life. I remember memories as a child space planning in my head, long before I knew ‘space planning’ was part of a profession called Interior Design. It is and has been a part of me for many years and the best part…bringing the vision to life.
Passionate, precise and dedicated. I believe in delivering outstanding design solutions no matter what the project, size, shape or value.
I’m a specialist in both commercial and hospitality projects, having worked over both disciplines for over 15 years, developing a sound knowledge for what does and doesn’t work. Tried and tested, sometimes the hard way.
For me great design is about immersion and understanding.

For me, a well designed space should transcend the user to create a memory and evoke emotion. In conjunction with a personal experience all elements of design should permeate into an individual's story, painting the backdrop in their mind when they look back in the future.
As an experienced Canadian designer I have been fortunate to create picturesque interiors throughout North America and now in New Zealand with Y-6. Specializing in hospitality design it is my passion to create stories through meticulously detailed, creatively curated and inspiring spaces that bring the user joy.

One of my earliest memories is the smell of saw dust in my Poppa’s work shed. He was a carpenter by trade and as a child I would spend time with him making bird’s houses. This instilled a lifelong interest in creating and set me on the path to study interior architecture and industrial design.
As a designer at Y—6, my goal is to create thoughtful and elegant spaces. Sustainability is always in the forefront of my mind and influences all of my design decisions. There is a wealth of knowledge at Y—6 and I relish the learning opportunity that working here provides.

Growing up in Tāmaki Makaurau, I found comfort in the beauty of the world—its flora, fauna, and ever-shifting landscapes. From an early age, I saw spatial design as more than just a practice or aesthetic pursuit; it is an intrinsic part of life, shaping how we experience the world and how it shapes us. It is an alternative language—one that influences emotion, social culture, and the rhythms of everyday life. This perspective has profoundly shaped my design philosophy.
As an experienced designer, I create human-centered spaces that balance flow, function, and beauty. Honouring the land, client identity, and user needs, I draw from art, nature, and historical influences to craft beautiful spaces. To me, great design is about understanding, collaboration, and bringing a vision to life—transforming environments into lasting experiences.

My awkward youth was colored by a healthy diet of science fiction films, spooky pulp books, and alternative punk rock music — influences that continue to resonate in my life today.
This endless curiosity for the theatrical and sensational led me to my formal study of art and spatial design. The spaces we inhabit are an unconscious extension of ourselves; designing them is an act of storytelling.

Shaped by my Taiwanese-Kiwi heritage and a love for travel. I find inspiration in the spaces between cultures, landscapes, and experiences. Born in Auckland and drawn to the far corners of the globe, I always return from each journey with fresh new perspectives.
I believe exceptional design has the power to shape experiences. It's creating beautiful spaces and crafting environments that leave a lasting impression, influencing the way people feel, interact, and connect with the world around them.

As a designer, I approach each project with a deep commitment to crafting spaces that resonate beyond the physical. Through an exploration of detailed moments, rich materiality, and narrative-driven design, I aim to create environments that evoke emotion and spark connection.
My work is grounded in the belief that spaces should not only function but also enact meaningful relationships—between people, place, and time. Each project becomes an opportunity to tell a unique story, one that activates the senses and fosters a deeper connection to the world around us.
