Unlocking the full potential of a coastal classic.
Set on a stunning beachfront section in Ōhope, this renovation was all about unlocking the full potential of its location. The original home had great bones and an enviable connection to the sea, but the layout needed refining to better suit modern living. By carefully working within the existing footprint and floor levels, the redesign enhances flow to the front lawn and beach beyond, while introducing an additional bedroom and more functional spaces for entertaining.
Significant engineering beneath the surface ensures the home is structurally sound on its sandy site, future-proofed for longevity. A covered louvred outdoor area creates a standout space for year-round enjoyment, seamlessly linking indoors and out. With meticulous craftsmanship, from the cedar detailing to the finishing work, this project proves that while renovations may not be our everyday focus, when we take them on, we deliver with the same precision and care as any new build.
