This 1980s two-level unit got a stunning modern makeover—all within its original footprint! We reimagined the internal layout for better flow, reshaped the upper roof to a gable for a fresh contemporary look, and opened up breathtaking views of Rangitoto. The home was fully reclad in bagged brick, cedar, and aluminum, paired with new windows, a sleek kitchen, and a refreshed bathroom. Our client’s love for bold color shines through—the vibrant orange front door and kitchen add personality, while rich green feature tiles bring depth to the bathroom. A striking entry stair, framed by a large Profilit glass window, floods the interior with natural light while maintaining privacy. Outside, a newly landscaped entertaining area creates the perfect spot to unwind after a day at the beach.

“Kate from Milieu designed our 250sqm coastal family home on Aucklands North Shore. She came up with a design that delivered everything we were looking for within a fairly restricted site, with her clever and creative design. We have really enjoyed the whole process and found Kate easy to work with. She finds a good balance between challenging us as clients when we need it and listening to what we want. We have always found Kate to be respectful of our budget and timeline and good at communicating when our decisions affect the scope of the project. We highly recommend working with Milieu Architecture + Design”
