OUR PROJECTS

Garage Conversion into a Stunning One-Bedroom Home in the Trees

We transformed an existing garage into a stunning one-bedroom home nestled in the trees. By extending the deck, we added extra living space and created a seamless flow between the buildings. The architectural details on the cladding were carefully matched to the style of the original home. A bespoke handrail complements the natural surroundings, blending beautifully into the native bush. We worked with the existing foundations, rebuilding them to meet the latest building code standards.

Smaller Projects: Big Impact, Quality Craftsmanship

  • Office renovation with pink wall frames and construction materials.

    OFFICE FITOUT AVONDALE

    The office was originally a noisy, open-floor layout. We worked closely with the client to design a new space that includes noise-insulated offices, a storage room, and a lunchroom. To maintain natural light flow, we incorporated windows into the walls, possibly allowing the boss to keep an eye on things as well!

  • Side-by-side images of a wooden deck, one stained and wet, the other being assembled.

    ONEHUNGA DECK REBUILD

    During an inspection for a relay, we discovered rotten joists and damaged foundations. As a result, we rebuilt the deck while preserving the existing pergola. The deck in the photos is wet, as we were washing it to accelerate the bleeding process of the Kwila timber, due to its location and the nearby white carpet.

  • Collage of house renovation showing new window installation, exterior siding, and exposed framing with insulation.

    RECLAD TITIRANGI

    The client reached out to us about a leaking section of their character Titirangi home. Upon investigation, we discovered significant rot in both the cladding and framing. After assessing the situation, we decided on a reclad and reframe. The client opted to use recycled windows to match the existing design of the home. We supported the roof during the process and worked diligently to rebuild the wall, ensuring it is now completely weathertight. The results were fantastic!

  • Drywall installation process with ceiling framework, drywall lift, ladders, and tools in a construction room.

    TE ATATU CEILING

    The client wanted to replace their old ceiling tiles, so they temporarily moved out. We made sure to protect their belongings and worked around them throughout the process. We installed metal battens, ensuring they were perfectly straight using a laser. After that, we put up new Gib board and scotia. While we were on-site, the clients also asked us to redo some walls and install insulation.

  • Before and after images of decking and stairs renovation. Left shows old, worn wood with dark stains. Right shows new, light wooden stairs and deck, freshly constructed and clean, alongside a well-maintained garden.

    TITIRANGI DECK

    Rebuilt this deck for the client due to significant rot. We also fixed a leak on the side of the house and rerouted the downpipe, which was previously draining under the house and causing issues.

  • The images show the process of renovating or building a space with framing lumber. The top image depicts an unfinished area with dirt and construction debris, exposed insulation, and wooden framing. The middle and bottom images show the same space with added wooden walls, framing, and a more finished interior look, indicating ongoing construction or renovation.

    BAYSWATER UNDER-HOUSE STORAGE

    For our clients looking to create a dry, organized under-house storage area, we laid down polythene sheeting to create an effective moisture barrier. This solution helps prevent dampness and moisture buildup, ensuring the space remains dry and usable for long-term storage.
