This project was a large scale extension; two storey side and front with a single storey rear. Also a full house refurb throughout including mod cons where possible. The main workings were designed by our clients architect and we then added subtle features to ensure the finish was to our client’s desire to complete the house transformation. Our clients objective was to completely update this property and create an impressive open plan, flowing feel. During the build we overcame many build obstacles. We installed over 15 steels and carried out adjustments throughout the project. We added an additional bi folding door opening, completely opened up the back section of the house this involved adding further steels mid project. A new water main was required at 100mts in length, the access was narrow which made some tasks challenging at times. This property now has many special features which include a stylish atrium roof light in the stairwell and a large pyramid roof atrium which is 3mts long in kitchen. Large bi folding door openings were installed accompanied by an almost full open-plan living space on the ground floor. Underfloor heating has been installed in 90% of the ground floor. This property is now an impressive family home with a modern and fresh feel throughout.

Ein Haus von der Stange lässt sich doch mit der 200 Jahre alten Eiche auf dem Grundstück nicht vereinen! Wie gut, dass Architekt Lutz Gnosa eine viel bessere Idee im Kopf hatte: Eine Kubatur aus Beton und solidem Kalksandstein, von HGK und zum Festpreis, dafür ganz individuell und ohne Ärger umzusetzen! Nach nur acht Monaten Bauzeit war das Traumhaus im Bauhausstil bezugsfertig. Wichtig war den Bauherren eine charakteristische, klare Fassade, die opulente Ausblicke auf das Grün erlaubt sowie Innen und Außen verschmelzen lässt. Weiß verputzte Wände und vom Architekten entworfene Einbaumöbel aus Eiche bilden im Inneren einen spannungsvollen Kontrast zu den Decken aus Sichtbeton und dem Pandomo-Fußboden.

This Swimming Pool + Spa was custom designed to allow the owners use all year round. The spill over spa is independently heated. The custom pavilion provides shade and protection from the elements. Soft, tropical planting completes the look.

Central paved area where all paths merge. The focal point is a rustic geometric sculpture, which is directly seen when entering the garden. The front rendered and wrought iron steel fence was also a feature of this project. The design of this boundary has been staggered back in sections to provide pockets of planting on the street side, allowing the garden to seep through at various points. This creates a softer appearance from the street as well as from the interior.

This family with three young children wanted to maximise every single inch of space for play and outdoor living, regardless of the season. The existing landscaping had broken the garden into a series of small areas which did not function as well as they could. Most of the existing planting was removed and retaining walls created flat spaces. Artificial turf means the children can play outside right through winter without getting wet and muddy. For the adults, a generous multilevel deck was provided which provides ample space for dining, cooking and relaxing while still watching the children. There was even space for a spa. Louvretech louvres mean the outdoor living area can be used regardless of the weather. The existing fences and retaining walls were given a fresh lease of life with Resene Waterborned Woodsman Equilibrium and a new colour palette (Resene Eighth Stonewall and Resene Double Stonewall) was also provided for the house and roof. The front lawn was hydroseeded for a lush result and new plants with beautiful foliage and seasonal interest will create a lush backdrop and street appeal as they mature.
