Gold Award winning transformation
Originally built in the 1980s, this home has been completely modernised to bring it up to modern-day standards and to rectify leaky issues.
The plaster exterior has been replaced with a combination of vertical cedar and standing seam cladding for a crisp, contemporary look—only the glass bricks give a nod to the home's origins.
All new drainage was installed as well as in situ concrete pavers and landscaping.
A modern, cavity system cladding solution will ensure the house doesn't suffer from any other 'leaky home' issues.
The whole house has been reinsulated, rewired and has had all new flooring installed throughout.
A statement wallpaper in the powder room contrasts the mainly neutral tones of the interior palette, adding a touch of drama to the scheme.
As part of the renovation process the footprint of the kitchen was slightly enlarged to make it more accommodating to the newly installed outdoor room.
A cantilevered element was added to the front of the home to provide for a much larger outdoor area, which helps take advantage of the leafy outlook and brings a sense of nature indoors—enhanced by the stone benchtops and mirrored splashback.
Part of the structural upgrades to the property included substantial foundations and steel beams to accommodate the new outdoor room, which is cantilevered out from the living area.
At the rear of the house, a second living area with balcony looking towards Rangitoto in the distance, leads on to the master suite.
The master bedroom enjoys a balcony of its own and similar panoramic views of Auckland city.
Large-format, stone-look tiles help impart a sense of spaciousness in the ensuite bathroom, which enjoys a crisp, contemporary look.
Double aspect windows provide an enviable view back across the harbour, to be enjoyed from the slipper bathtub.
Off the entrance foyer, a further living area leads onto the refurbished deck area and swimming pool.
Also leading onto the pool area, the downstairs kitchen has been updated. All of the appliances have been reused from the kitchen upstairs.
To answer the homeowners' request for a watertight home, the array of exterior cladding materials were chosen for their 'minimal penetration' attributes.
As part of the exterior upgrades, the driveway was resurfaced and the fencing re-rendered.

About the
Professional

They say quality, like beauty, is subjective, but when it comes to building, quality really is black and white. HarbourCity Building Company has a strong commitment to quality and this commitment is evident in every single one of the company’s completed homes.

HarbourCity Building Company is owned and managed by the very people that you will be dealing with throughout your building project, who through their combined talents and history bring many years of construction experience to the table with a focus on value, quality and sound project management of the entire building process from conception through to completion.

HarbourCity Building Company builds residential homes across most price ranges, executive styled and architecturally designed homes make up the core business, with large renovations, recladding and urban investment properties or first homes also undertaken by the company.

Our approach is comprehensive, individual and specialised, and because we are a small niche building company you will receive one off attention at all times from the people who own and manage the business.

Whether the project is large or small, the one thing our projects have in common is that the buildings are individually designed to suit their owners’ requirements and the land on which they will sit.

Our standards and quality remain consistent across all projects. We are dedicated to creating beautiful homes. A team approach is not only required but is essential to making the building process a happy and rewarding experience for all involved.
