Auckland Renovation Farm Cove, Auckland

The renovation of a 1970s Farm Cove masonry house presented a number of challenges. How to extend the house in keeping with its mid century vibe while bringing light into the house was one. The other was dealing with the construction disruptions that the covid era brought to anything on site.

The front sunny entry courtyard has the new addition of a shading screen that mitigates the intense light in this location and provides a new entertaining area on the randomly placed paving slabs.

Light was brought into the rear of the house through a new angled roof at the that opens onto a new kitchen area. Batten shading ensures this area does not overheat. A new bathroom and bedroom is accessed at the back of the site with a private outlook to the garden.

In keeping with the clients mid century collections, the colours and materials were carefully selected to retain a retro feel to the spaces.
