Thoughtfully designed renovation and extension of a state home in Grey Lynn, featuring a gabled front extension and a modern rear addition that enhances outdoor living while maintaining harmony with the existing structure and streetscape.

A renovation and extension to a state home in Grey Lynn. This extension is sympathetic to the existing home and streetscape. The two extensions are distinct in character and function. 

The front extension has a gabled roof, mirroring the slope of the existing home. This space encompasses a garage, with direct access into the heart of the home by way of a mudroom / laundry. It also has a multi-purpose space above which has sight lines through the kitchen to the back yard and beyond to the neighbouring park. 

The rear extension is a modern box which is used to anchor and frame a new outdoor living space. The extension homes a master bedroom with ensuite and walk in closet. The rear extension blurs the line between inside and out, drawing people out onto the deck, and garden beyond.

“We engaged Julia from Elbow Architects to design a concept for our new family home. We had purchased our dream piece of land several years earlier and so the project was very close to our hearts. As the owner's of an architectural building company we had very high expectations and knew exactly what we were looking for in an architect. Julia did not disappoint. Elbow truly listened to our brief and took the time to get to know our family and how we lived. What eventuated was a concept that we loved and that perfectly complimented our family hustle. Elbow were punctual and delivered on deadlines- they are a pleasure to work with. We look forward to collaborating again in the future and would highly recommend Julia and Elbow Architects. Keryn and Nick Hoogervorst”
