On a regular basis we work on challenging renovation and addition projects. This project is one of those. It is in a character overlay zone in Auckland, had previous additions which were poorly executed and the existing house required extensive works to bring it up to modern standards.

We also had a number of factors on our side, one of them being a client who trusted us through the design process and shared our vision for the site.

We were able to navigate the council heritage process and gain significant wins, notably the vertical battens on the upper level addition and a contemporary addition on the ground floor.

We get excited by these types of projects as we thrive on the challenge. They are complex and highly detailed and allow us to stretch our architectural imagination.
