A beautifully transformed bungalow in Remuera, blending heritage charm with modern living through extensive renovations and a new addition, while preserving key historical features to meet council requirements.

We have chosen this property as our signature home because it encompasses in this one property the range of work we do. The internal layout of the home was to be substantially altered and a new modern addition was designed to the rear to create a living space to embrace the private sunny rear garden. This was a heritage zoned property and many features needed to be retained and or reintroduced to meet council requirements.

Given the extent of the changes required and our commitment to a quality rebuild Artisan proposed we remove all but the front and side walls of the original home. This was a cost effective means to get a high quality product that incorporated all the features of the old bungalow while embracing the performance and building standards of a new home. This home now features in a contemporary book titled Bungalow – from heritage to contemporary. The street appearance of a “restored” older home belies the rebuild that has taken place. This is a beautiful home that has retained has the essence of the bungalow era but has been transformed into a modern masterpiece. Some years later we were invited to come back and complete the project with a new garage, basement development and landscape work to match. Job done!

“Rudy and his team did an exemplary job recladding our house. His communication with us was excellent throughout the whole project. Rudy spent a great deal of time going through all the plans with us and his quote was comprehensive covering all the details. They liaised well with the council throughout the whole process following up on anything required. His sub-contractors’ work was also of high quality and they always turned up when they were required. The team was good at problem solving and always looked for ways to best achieve a top-quality job as economically as possible. They had a real eye for design and came up with some excellent well thought out solutions. The workmanship and finishing were of high quality. We were kept informed throughout the whole process and the job couldn’t have gone more smoothly. We highly recommend Artisan Builders without exception and would happily use them again for any future project we embark on.”
