A transformative renovation of a Mt Eden villa, featuring a new basement garage, seamless lawn integration, and light-filled living spaces that enhance outdoor connectivity and family enjoyment.

This transitional Mt Eden villa was a large, rambling home on a sloping site with limited connection to the sunny north lawn. The first stage of this project involved constructing a new basement garage, built to the south of the existing house, to maximise the use of the site. A level lawn now continues seamlessly on top of the garage, providing a large play space for children. The second stage manipulated the forms of the original gable roof, replacing a series of dark service rooms with light-filled living spaces that connect directly to the north-facing lawn. A covered outdoor space provides year-round enjoyment of the garden, leaving space for a landscaped pool.
