Located in the vibrant heart of Auckland's cherished Pt Chevalier neighborhood, this bungalow was in need of a re-design. Presenting an opportunity to extend the rear of the house and add another level, blending modern living with traditional design, preserving the home’s original character while introducing contemporary comforts.
The extension features a spacious open-plan living area, where the kitchen and dining spaces converge around a striking central island—this elegant centrepiece serves both functional and aesthetic purposes. The design also incorporates a separate scullery kitchen, enhancing the home's practicality and flow.
This project exemplifies how modern design can harmoniously coexist with traditional elements, resulting in a family home that is both stylish and deeply rooted with its original character.
