A stunning transformation of a heritage workers cottage into a three-level designer home, featuring a striking marble wall, recycled Kauri sarking, and versatile living spaces that seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living.

A complete renovation, maintaining the heritage street frontage, and inside an extraordinary metamorphosis from a humble workers cottage into a three levelled designer-home.

A central waxed-slatted steel and solid oak staircase connects all levels and allows natural light to flood in and illuminate a 9 metre high butterflied Nero Marquina marble wall.   Original Kauri sarking is recycled into kitchen and living walls, and custom shiplap lines the bedroom and hallway walls to seamlessly integrate old and new.

Multiple, versatile living spaces allow family life to bounce indoors and outdoors, from intimate media rooms, to large living spaces opening to the courtyard and pool.

“While other architects found our project too challenging, Brave Architects brought a level of innovation to create solutions we could never have envisioned. Brave's ability to think outside the box and their attention to future proofing, have left us with spaces to allow all of us to enjoy our home now and for a long time to come. Thank you very much!”
