The essence of the project was to open up the space, but simultaneously create intimate spaces for business and leisure.

Each space and its features had to be designed with thoughtful intent, to allow the North-Western sun to bleed into every room, whilst utilising all the space effectively.

The 1920s apartment building created challenges for the build. Large steel beams and items like the IMO kitchen, had to be transported in the modified service lift or carried up the stairs to the seventh storey apartment and assembled in-situ.

This apartment seamlessly brings together what is best about the old and the new, to create a comfortable home in the heart of downtown Auckland.

Fluted glass sliding doors acted as a nod to the building’s art deco style, while the steel framing tied in with the brass fittings and surface mounted conduit to give a raw, peeled back feel to the interior.

This apartment seamlessly brings together what is best about the old and the new, to create a comfortable home in the heart of downtown Auckland.

Kevin Bruce is the Director of Absolute Construct and holds Trade Certification for Carpentry as well as Ship, Yacht and Boat Building, having worked as a boat builder for the first several years of his career. Seeking new challenges, in 1994 he moved into house construction as Absolute Building Services. This enabled him to utilise his carpentry skills and eye for detail on a larger scale. During the ensuing years the size and scope of projects that Kevin and his team have worked on have grown.

In 2013 Kevin rebranded the business as Absolute Construct to reflect this change.

Kevin now runs a business with around 12 full time staff, including qualified trades people and apprentices. His aim is to exceed the expectations of clients. He is often on site, working with his team and with clients to ensure that communication lines stay open and that projects run as smoothly as possible.
