RENOVATION
National Supreme Renovation of the Year

Arrive at this East Auckland property and you could be forgiven for thinking you’re in an exclusive tropical resort. It’s an oasis in the suburbs, a place where lush and luxury live together under palm trees and beside a swimming pool and tennis court. 

The 460sqm masonry house has undergone a complex renovation, not that you’d know it from the builders’ wide-ranging skills and attention to detail. The project entailed a 60sqm extension with a gym and an enlarged kitchen-dining area with a new European kitchen. 

New life was also breathed into the existing side patio, which was given a new timber-framed louvre roof and hanging fireplace. All three bathrooms received the luxe treatment with Venetian-style plaster render and top-of- the-range cabinetry and tapware. 

It’s all flawless and opulent now, but this was a highly technical project requiring a savvy, skilled team. Large masonry walls had to be removed and steel beams used to create openings. As a result, myriad intricate services needed to be rerouted. Given the calibre of the existing finishes in the four-bedroom home, attention was paid to every tiny detail, right down to the polished concrete sills and handrails. It shows: this is how to do a top-end, seamless renovation.
