Space always seems to be the issue when it comes to unit style homes in central Auckland. Our client in Parnell had the same problem. His unit was centrally located in Parnell which allowed him to enjoy the quaint yet an Urban lifestyle of Parnell Village. This 2 storey unit consisted of small living space and an even tinier kitchen without much counter space. There were 2 bedrooms upstairs which had started looking dated and overall the unit lacked character, convenience, and style.
Good planning along with some creativity is vital in order to maximise storage and comfort in small spaces. We first moved the kitchen from the left side of the room to the right and tore down a wall between the lounge and dining room. Opening up of the kitchen area also allowed the client to incorporate a space for a bar as well as a decent size dining area. The living room was transformed into a hi-tech space with an electric fireplace and concrete flooring. The bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs were given a modern luxurious look to imitate the feeling of being in an upscale hotel. The highlight of this project was incorporating technology within the renovation of each room.
This was not a regular kitchen renovation where we demolished everything and then replaced it with new cabinets and fixtures. This kitchen renovation required some creativity and extensive planning to turn a small and dingy kitchen into an open plan spacious kitchen with plenty of counter space along with storage. The client’s kitchen was on the left side of the room and we decided to actually move it to the right. There was a toilet and dining space on the right so we decided to demolish the toilet and take that in to make a large kitchen. The left side of the room was then turned into a closet laundry space as well as a pantry next to it.
