Update your home

Renovating your home can add value to the property, increase the practicality of the space and can provide more comfort for your family. Whatever your needs may be, Alliance Architecture will visit on-site to talk through your ideas and discuss the outcome you are looking for.

Once we have discussed your requirements and the budget of your project, we will put together a plan to take the renovation through to completion. We are also on hand to deal with and explain any complicated issues which may arise in getting consent for your renovation.

Although Tanekaha looks brand new, this house was part of the alterations and additions category. The basement was developed to include a master bedroom, en-suite, wardrobe, laundry and storage whilst the upper floor development included removing walls and the kitchen and bathroom relocated. The house also had a membrane deck and glass balustrade added to the first floor with a reclad finishing off the overall look of the house. Cedar weatherboard was chosen to become one with its surroundings, adding a touch of bronze for a point of difference.

Fisher Parade was a typical case of a tired home that needed to make woken up. We were able to easily transform this family home into a bespoke piece of architecture. A simple residential reclad and wall removal, additions and changes gave the floor plan more functionality and opened the space up. The smaller details became eye catches such as the internal glass balustrade, the tiled feature walls in the bathroom and the fixed louvers on the face of the facade.

Piha Road was a typical 1950’s home that featured original wallpaper. A collaborative approach with the design provided, the owners rebuilt this to become a family home by adding a basement and lower level entry. These alterations transformed it into a unique, contemporary home right through with a few wall alterations, a re-clad in board and batten and an overall modernization.

As untouched as this house looks, a series of renovations were done to achieve an elegant balance of new and old. Designing a split level lounge allowed for the city and Harbour views to be seen clearly over all roof and tree tops, whilst connecting to the open plan dining room and kitchen. Lino and carpet were removed to expose the original Rimu flooring which added a softness to the marble and copper finishes. Walls were altered to create a better circulation including bringing the kitchen forward and adding a baker’s scullery. New entry stairs were required at the front of the house which flared out to welcome visitors and allowed for an entry to the work premises downstairs. Custom aluminium balustrade was designed to reflect the period of the architecture.

Low maintenance exterior, brick was chosen for majority of the facades to match the existing. The split level extension was matched to the existing brick. Palisade weatherboard was used at the top level to ensure no painting or up-keep was needed.

Brown Street

The addition of a new family member meant that the residents of Brown Street required more space in their Bungalow.  Alliance Architecture constructed an extension resulting in more space for the family and improving on their beautiful home.
