From old bungalow to a home made for modern living.
This project started as an older Auckland bungalow, and while we wanted to give the house a completely new life, we didn’t want to erase its story.
We extended the home to create a new master bedroom with direct access to the deck, walk-in wardrobe, bathroom, second living space and studio. The exterior was also transformed with new cladding, roofing and windows, giving the house a completely refreshed look.
But there was one thing we chose to keep — the original timber flooring.
Instead of replacing it, we restored it and allowed all those little marks, knots and imperfections to remain visible. Against everything new, the old floor brings warmth and character, and quietly reminds you that this beautiful home has been here long before the renovation.
Because a good renovation isn’t always about making everything new. Sometimes it’s about knowing what is worth keeping.
