About IDC Commercial.

IDC — Imagine · Design · Create.

People first. Always.

We believe exceptional interiors begin with listening: to the people behind the brief, the existing or proposed architecture and the practical realities that make a space truly work.

Our Auckland-based creative partnership works with project authors, consultants, craftspeople and specialists. We take a considered approach from early direction to detailed selections; responsibilities are agreed for each appointment.

At IDC, relationships with clients, developers and hospitality operators, design direction, project positioning and the brief are held in one clear conversation—connecting material language, practical decisions and the experience of the finished space.

The people behind IDC.

Nicola Kock

Director

A client is not simply buying an interior. They are buying confidence in the outcome.

What the work is held to—and who holds it.

Nicola’s background is in national and multinational businesses where volume, margin and delivery were held to account. Her experience spans procurement, logistics and distribution across two countries, alongside an established Australasian consumer-health business serving retail and health channels.

Graham Kock

Director

A project is not handed to a company. It is handed to the people who answer for it.

Three decades of delivery, across three continents.

Graham has delivered large-scale residential, commercial and hospitality developments across South Africa, the Middle East and New Zealand. In 2010, he founded and ran a turnkey construction and project-management company, carrying work from feasibility through construction management and completion.

After moving to New Zealand in 2014, Graham delivered capital works across a national grocery network and later held a Project Director role at a national commercial construction business focused on hotel fitouts.

Profiles adapted from IDC’s 2026 studio and hospitality capability documents. Project roles and responsibilities remain appointment-specific.

A clear way forward.

Every project is different. We start by understanding the people, purpose and practical needs of the space, then agree what IDC will do and how the work will progress.

Understand the brief.

We listen to how you operate, what is already there and what you want the project to achieve.

Design with purpose.

We bring together space, light, materials and practical details so the result looks beautiful and works in everyday use.

Keep it clear.

We agree the scope, the key decisions and who is responsible for each part, and keep you informed as the project progresses.
