Coastal Home Renovation

Titahi Bay
An internal makeover of the older lower level of this family home achieved issues of weather tightness and insulation as well as modernising throughout and improving functionality. The construction of the feature staircase balustrade in the entrance and installing double french doors in the entertainment room really channeled the elegant Hampton’s style of home that the owner wanted to achieve.

Outdoor Landscaping and Entryway

Khandallah
Working with the original concrete and narrow pathways required this landscaping project to be dug out by hand. Repouring new concrete presented challenges due to the steepness of the incline of the stairs, requiring it to be intricately handled so that the desired result was eventually achieved. The result was brand new exterior paving and staircase entranceway in an exposed aggregate concrete to keep with the properties original character of 100+ years ago.
