Nestled behind Eden Park Stadium, this project blended contemporary design with heritage charm by extending a classic villa with a sleek modern addition. The aim was to create a harmonious transition between the existing heritage villa and the new extension while adopting Lunawood vertical timber cladding, as well as bevelback weatherboard and timber character elements to tie the two structures together.
Internally, the project included strategic alterations to retain the generous ceiling heights, preserving the sense of spaciousness and airiness that characterizes the original villa. These alterations were carefully integrated to ensure a seamless flow between the old and the new.
Additionally, the project involved the reinstating of the brick heritage chimney, a feature of historical significance to the villa. The restored chimney serves to retain the villa's authenticity, demonstrating a commitment to preserving its heritage value while enhancing its functionality for modern living.
