“Adding value to a re-clad home.”

Many changes have added to the end result of this home. A German cladding system on aluminium channels (ventilated cavity on RAB board) provide a nice concrete tile appearance that does not need painting. Cedar battens on stainless steel form the new balustrades to the previously enclosed decks. Large overhangs were created above the windows to provide rain protection. We introduced an additional cover batten to the window frames which provide an additional layer of protection to the silicone seal around the windows. This home in its original monoclad state had a CV of $700,000 would only have sold for approximately $450,000 in its leaky state. Now complete the house is valued at over $1.8m in 2014. A worthwhile investment.

About the
Professional

An Auckland based architectural office focusing on providing leadership in planning, architecture, urban design and interior design. With over 30 years award-winning experience designing residential, church, school and commercial projects. 

NZ architects you can trust

We believe in a ‘total design’ architectural philosophy, which means design disciplines permeate every aspect of the business, including the way we operate. This approach ensures building design outputs are based on facts and reality, not assumptions and guesses. Every output is checked against the original brief, however, there’s always flexibility to accommodate new requirements along the way.

Our attention to detail ensures every stage of each project is successful. You can trust us to streamline the journey to project realization by producing accurate and technically complex consent and tendering drawings, efficiently monitoring adherence to plans during construction and ensuring your architectural budget goes the distance.
