FEATURED PROJECTS
This beautifully renovated 1920s three-bedroom home has been thoughtfully updated to blend timeless character with contemporary comfort. In need of a complete refresh, both inside and out, the home underwent a stunning transformation that enhances its charm while catering to modern living.
A key upgrade was the removal of the existing detached garage, replaced with a new attached garage and an elegant extension featuring a spacious primary bedroom with an ensuite. Maintaining the home’s original character was a priority, ensuring every update complemented its heritage while improving functionality.
At the heart of the home, an inviting open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area was created, seamlessly flowing onto two separate decks that connect to the lush back garden. Thoughtfully designed window seats in both the primary bedroom and living room provide a cozy spot to relax while taking in the serene outdoor views.
To further enhance the living experience, a skylight was installed in the kitchen, flooding the space with natural light, while a new fireplace adds warmth and ambiance, creating a cozy cottage feel—perfect for gathering during the cooler months.
This beautifully revitalized home now offers the perfect balance of character, comfort, and modern convenience, making it a true sanctuary for its owner.
Perched in the sought-after suburb of Wadestown, this remarkable home boasts breathtaking views of Wellington Harbour. Our client envisioned a space to showcase an extensive book collection while also enhancing the home's connection to the garden and creating an inviting area for entertaining.
To achieve this, the underutilized space beneath the existing deck was transformed through an extensive excavation process. A newly designed internal staircase seamlessly connects the main house to a lower-level corridor, featuring a laundry, ample storage, and a beautifully crafted library.
The library itself is a haven of comfort and sophistication, offering generous space for both relaxation and entertainment. A dedicated sitting area, a pool table, and two charming bay window seats provide the perfect setting to enjoy the garden and harbour views. French doors open directly to the upper garden, now redesigned with elegant central stairs and formal terraces leading to the lower garden.
Above, the first-floor deck has been thoughtfully rebuilt, preserving the stunning panoramic views while overlooking the newly landscaped grounds. This exceptional renovation blends functionality with timeless elegance, creating a refined and inviting retreat in one of Wellington’s most desirable locations.
Nestled in the heart of Paraparaumu on the beautiful Kapiti Coast, this thoughtfully designed rear-section home balances comfort, privacy, and style. While the compact site presented some challenges, clever design solutions have created a warm and inviting retreat.
Surrounded by established homes, this property maintains excellent privacy with carefully positioned outdoor spaces. The north-west facing living areas open seamlessly onto an upper deck, with stairs leading down to a small lawn—perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
Inside, three well-appointed bedrooms line the eastern side of the home, capturing the morning sun. The primary bedroom features a private ensuite, complementing the main bathroom shared by the household. Maximizing space efficiency, the laundry is conveniently tucked away in the single garage.
A cohesive and simple palette of materials enhances the home's warm and welcoming feel, making it an ideal sanctuary for the owners in a sought-after location.
