Chaffeys Rd, Waiau - New Build
What more could want from a home? Nothing, it seems. It’s all here nestled on the side of a hill in the Canterbury Plains, 197 sqm, with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 spacious living areas, office and separate laundry and amazing views from all around the home.
As you enter the home you pass a clever stonework feature and enter the home onto stunning polished concrete floors that add to the home’s all-round appeal.
This home has clearly been well thought out with the designer kitchen done in clean, crisp white cabinetry, solid-surface engineered stone benchtops with wooden features and a large butler’s pantry. The dining, family and living zones merge into each other seamlessly with sliders that all open to lush outside living.
And while the palette is restrained in white, neutral tones and splashes of vivid colour can be found in feature walls and in furnishings.
Tiled bathrooms continue with wooden theme features and are serene places in which to relax and feature lighting adds further appeal.
Clad in vertical cedar and white Linea weatherboard creates a harmonious aesthetic using different cladding to enhance this clever design, combined with quality craftsmanship, has resulted in an exceptional family home.
Domett - Extension/ Renovation
Beaming with pride this stylish and clever design makes the most out of its stunning surrounds. We had a lot of fun working with our clients renovating their home, the carefully designed layout ensures the best use of outdoor space that brings the residents together, yet gives them plenty of their own space, too.
Renovating this 3 bedrooms, office, 2 bathrooms, kitchen/lounge/dining with the interior done in warm and earthy tones resulting is an inviting, elegant home that cleverly infuses contemporary living, while retaining all the charm of a classic style.
White cabinetry, spacious walk in-pantry and engineered stone benchtops deliver a kitchen that is striking and stylish. It’s a chic yet practical space that flows into the living area and outside to a covered hardwood deck which also provides a variety of all-weather options for dining, relaxing and entertaining.
This home has definitely become part of its landscape and one of our favourite parts of the renovation was updating the north facing deck with stunning wood panelling and cedar/iron gable feature making it a perfect place for relaxing into the long Canterbury summer evenings.

Bryndwr - Renovation
Everyone loves a Cinderella story. This wee beauty was a confined floor plan with outdated materials and finishes. The two-bedroom, one-bathroom 100sqm unit is a testament to the power of contemporary finishes to maximise functionality and modernise family living.
The renovation stayed as close to the original build as possible, using some new retrofitted window joinery, new floating laminate flooring & carpet. The laundry was also updated to ensure the house is fit for family living for many years to come and a new family friendly kitchen features practical white tiles and wooden accents. The office is a showstopper with its bold wallpaper and new spacious bathroom with a wide glass front shower and gorgeous gold tapware making this space light filled and practical like the rest of the home.
This project shows how to mould the old with the new, the current with the traditional, in a natural seamless way. We have really enjoyed working alongside our client in making her character filled home revamped for modern living.
Treffers Avenue - Renovation
How do you bring a tired brick home with art deco features into the present, while retaining its character and DNA? You call in the experts. In this case, Robertson Building with an eye for detail and an architect – Choice Architecture - with a sensitive vision.
Once tired, with joinery and cladding that had seen better days with an overgrown dark section, the result with this renovation is a resounding success. The modest house has been opened up to become a modern home with some of the lovely period features retained, celebrated and even emulated plus the addition of a fabulous new 3 bay shed which will be the envy of many. A triumph of renovation, you’ll see the skilled work on show throughout the home showcasing the client’s design. A house where a dark old kitchen and dining room have been replaced with open-plan living leading onto a gorgeous outdoor living area making it a delight to entertain.
The home is now sunshine central with a mix of new and retro fitted windows and doors with a nod to the period features. You’ll also notice a generous new master bedroom, including an ensuite, generous walk in in wardrobe topped off with a well-appointed study looking onto the sprawling deck and garden. The home is now connected the garage to the house for easy access and has advantage of fantastic storage, the laundry, lounge and bedrooms have been moved & revamped, new flooring throughout, a stylish new roof, fire and ducted heat pump to keep them cosy in the winter and cool in the summer. One look at the bathroom, with its deco sensibility, tells you this project was all about keeping the very best of the old and combining it with the new. It’s a template for a sensitive, compelling revamp in which the owner’s vision is beautifully showcased.
