A stunning modern rejuvenation and extension of a waterfront property in eastern Auckland, completed in 2023, featuring seamless indoor-outdoor living, enhanced entertaining spaces, and luxurious upgrades throughout.

The practical and the peerless go hand in hand in this top-shelf rejuvenation and extension of a waterfront property. Such is the impact of the major project, if you didn’t know you were in an eastern Auckland suburb, you’d think this was a five-star tropical resort. How did Faulkner Construction pull off the wow-factor transformation? Let’s start with the north-facing area with the existing pool and palms. The project team crafted a water-facing extension that ties so seamlessly with the existing living and dining areas it looks like it has always been there. Sliders, skylights, clerestory windows and bifolds ensure this room with a raked ceiling is bright and breezy. Adjoining this space and connected by bifolds is a new cabana with a barbecue and outdoor fireplace. Together, this is entertaining central.
Outside, the new deck and upgraded pool fencing markedly enhance the outdoor visual appeal. The magic was worked elsewhere, too. Included in the work: the main-bedroom suite was extended, new lounge roof beams were installed, the kitchen was given a contemporary refit and bathrooms were upgraded. This renovation project achieves a balance of comfort and style, pragmatism and luxury. Now the owners have a 477sqm home with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, three living areas and a whole lot of craftsmanship.

“The over-arching feeling which comes from Faulkner Construction is that they have the experience and professionalism to handle whatever issues a building program can throw up. Headed by owner Ross Faulkner, the team of Sieng, Alastair, Andrea and all the tradesmen at Faulkner Construction are a formidable team who are craftsman in their field and produce a product to the highest standard, proven by the awards they regularly win at the Master Builders House of the Year Competition. We genuinely enjoyed this building process, which is something you don't often hear about building a new house. Coming to site most days to see the changes and progress being made, we were very involved in the build and quite particular about the details of our house and Faulkner respected this and delivered an amazing result which has exceeded our expectations. It has actually been difficult writing this reference because words don't seem to adequately express our gratitude for the care and professionalism Faulkner Construction took with our project, particularly Sieng, the site foreman. He is completely unflappable and his attention to detail and ability to get on with the job was a large contributor to the success of the project. When we were looking for a builder we contacted a previous client of Faulkner Construction for a reference and their advice was to look no further than Faulkner Construction. Having now completed our own project with them we can totally echo this advice and if we decide to build again they are the only builders we would consider using.”
