A tongue-in-cheek sketch of a taco-shaped island designed for gathering around quickly became the heart of this Governors Bay renovation. Using salvaged Rimu to create a relaxed bach vibe, the alteration turned a disjointed house into an open, sun-filled retreat.

Professional Reviews

1 / 3

“We're delighted with your design and services. Your expert advice has been hugely helpful in creating a house that we will be comfortable in, and which suits our budget and lifestyle. We really appreciated how you both communicated with us at every stage, but especially at the beginning. You listened to what we wanted, inquired to learn more about how we want to live, and then added your expertise and professional suggestions to create a dwelling we think will be excellent and well suited for us.”

Peter & Maria, Banks Peninsula
