Recreating the history 

This project started as a home built in 1914 with all its glory and once the team left it had expanded from 147 square metres to 276, resulting in 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, separate lounge, kitchen/dining, laundry, conservatory, and outside toilet. This is no easy task as the principles, materials and looks were to be replicated throughout the entire home. To accomplish the home owners desires we incorporated; rimu flooring, timber ceilings, recycled doors, decking, stone, coloursteel, plastered gable and periodic pieces that we found through New Zealand to make this 1914 home come alive in the world we live in today. 

​A nod to the heritage

​The home owner had a steel flange of a waterline that use to carry water for goldminers in the Nevis 70+ years ago that we incorporated into the house. This was fitted into the stone wall in the Master bedroom creating a new window looking down the valley. Creating timber sills on the inside and plastering the outside to ensure it gave the desired look. 

The original claw foot bath for the house had been under a tree for many years and we were truly amazed of the outcome of its revamp. The bath was re-enamelled and painted and now serves in the main bathroom as a feature talking point. For the homeowners this was an extra treat as once installed you can still see the date carved in from when it was made.
