The new kitchen was built out of brown wood ply with built in storage under the stairs and glazed panels through the adjacent stairwell to bring in light from the east. Secret fixed shelves with chunky ply on the wall to display the favourite china.

A picture frame window of the Pohutukawa in the garden forms the back drop for the ten seater table. The lounge shows the original matai tongue and groove flooring and new bifolds to engage with the bush clad exterior.

The northern window seat adjacent to the kitchen invites the visitor to pause for a moment, and engage with the bush garden. While the claw foot bath offers a snapshot of a massive oak tree that sits to the south east.
