This white wine cellar incorporated an oak timber finish and stone shelving. Soft LED strip and spot lighting add an abundance of subtle brightness. Such details allow the space to open up what was once a head height restricted basement space. The initial challenge of this white wine cellar project was the total floor to ceiling height of only 2m. Given that the original space showed signs of damp and water ingress, the Structural waterproofing was a key consideration. Ventilation was and is an additional must for any basement custom wine cellar project. Ventilation is also a building control requirement in a usable basement space. Within the design, it will additionally remove any surface moisture build up from dew point temperature condensation.

A beautiful new build welsh oak house in the Cardiff area. "When we decided to build our dream Welsh Oak timber frame house, we decided to contract Smarta to project manage the development from the laying of the foundations to the landscaping of the garden. Right from the start, we have found the team at Smarta to be friendly and approachable, with a “can do” approach – no matter how last minute! A major advantage that we have found with Smarta is that instead of having to deal with numerous different trades and companies, our life was simplified and less stressful since Smarta relieved us of that burden and oversaw everything, from the electrical and plumbing installation through to the installation of multi-room audio and home cinema." - Home Owner

This rustic board and batten home is tucked into a valley in a leafy Auckland suburb within walking distance to the sea. The split level house sat awkwardly on the site and was surrounded by an assorted collection of shrubs. There was also a problematic area directly under the boardwalk entry to the house. On the plus side, mature hedging gave good privacy from the road and neighbouring houses. The owners wished for a simpler, less cluttered feeling garden in which there house would sit comfortably. Romantic cottage style plantings were desired, with pollinator plants as a feature, as well as a formal rose garden, multiple options for seating and a large vegetable garden and utility area. As the site had some changes in level, most of the new layout was created using retaining walls. This also allowed for the addition of new soil to improve the existing coastal soil. As the property is in a natural valley, the garden is sheltered from coastal winds. The awkward area under the entry boardwalk was transformed into a romantic sheltered seating area for two. The boundary hedges and several mature trees were kept and new plantings were designed to link everything together. Where possible, low maintenance plants were selected and low hedging also provides structure. The owners have now completed stage one of the project - the entry and driveway areas - and will begin work on stage two - vegetable and rose gardens - next autumn. Dee McQuillan
