We recently completed this very interesting architecturally designed renovation. The client who had lived in the home for 20 years loved the location but could now afford to make it something special. Working with award winning architects Creative Arch we got together and came up with some great ideas to extend and improve this 1970s homes.

The site itself was tricky, it was up a steep driveway and the clients wanted to maximize on the land space there was and really make the house as large as we could whilst keeping the swimming pool area for the kids.
We ended up with a stunning home that had all the living and entertaining and master suite on the top floor and the rest of the bedrooms and kids lounge on the lower level.
We have used different materials to highlight different aspects of the home. All with the brief of being low maintenance and easy to clean due to the sea spray and height of the house.  The use of vertical colour steel sheets add grandeur and depth to the house.  The grooves in the cladding make the large scale of it softer on the eye and its surroundings.
The existing concrete block base was plastered and painted a simple white.  It draws your eye horizontally balancing out the house on the section and giving the house a bit more texture.
The large windows have been cleverly designed to catch light from the north and east as the house faces the ocean to the south west. This has been difficult but the result is huge views out to sea without compromising any natural light.
The large cedar decking that flanks all sides of the home make for great indoor outdoor flow from the sizeable open plan living, kitchen and dining perfect for entertaining.

We have ended up with a warm and inviting home with plenty of personality and plenty of space for the family.  If you have a project in mind then get in touch with us today for a no obligations chat, or for more information on other projects we have done check out our website www.qpcbuilders.co.nz
