Kerikeri New Build

This family loves to entertain! The large butler’s pantry and state-of-the-art kitchen built by Harrison and Thurston really make this the hub of the house.

The spacious kitchen flows to a very large lounge and an equally generous dining area. The joinery from these rooms pushes back to create the perfect flow to the outside for all those larger gatherings. There’s a great separation from the kids wing which allows the teenagers and their parents their own spaces to relax.

Rivercrest Way New Build

Thoughtfully designed, this low-maintenance family home was positioned for all day sun and maximum privacy within the subdivision. Generously proportioned at 215m2 with 4 large bedrooms, everyone has plenty of personal space.

The well-appointed kitchen with adjoining butler’s pantry, and two living areas, flows nicely to the outdoor living and is ideal for entertaining. Ample storage throughout, plus oversize garaging, ensures that there is a place for everything and makes it a breeze to keep this beautifully finished home clutter-free.

Opua Renovation & Extension

The original bedroom and bathroom areas of the 1940s cottage had the best outlook so this part of the building was demolished to allow construction of a very generous open plan living, dining and kitchen area with amazing sea views.

This level opens onto a very large balcony covered by Louvretech roofing, creating a natural extension to the living area that can be used year-round.

The old living area was converted to a master bedroom with ensuite which connects to a large study and bathroom. Underneath was a downstairs rumpus room which was renovated to become a modern guest suite.

Okaihau Renovation

While the footprint and cladding remains the same, this phenomenal makeover has given an ultra-modern feel to an old farmhouse. The generously proportioned rooms make the most of the natural light and beautiful country views.

Devonport Heritage Extension

This was a design project for a client who we had worked with previously on a major extension in Opua. We developed such a high level of trust that when they relocated to Devonport in Auckland, they realised it wasn’t practical for us to do the build but refused to consider anyone but Natalie to design their extension.

There were many challenges in working within council District Plan rules regarding heritage properties but after careful planning and consultation, this turn of the century cottage was moved away from boundary to meet current fire requirements, raised 300mm to mitigate flood risk, and extended 62 square metres to better suit modern living.

The design resulted in a significantly larger, open plan kitchen/dining area, a modernised bathroom and better indoor-outdoor flow. This project required extensive research and sensitive design to ensure that the extension melded seamlessly with the existing style and materials.

The dining and living areas open onto a huge deck for easy indoor-outdoor flow – perfect for accessing the woodfire pizza oven and barbecue areas.

Pole Shed Kerikeri

We managed the consents, designed, and built this three-bay pole shed which contains a workshop for a plumbing business, what our client calls a ‘man cave’ area, and boat storage.

We also constructed retaining walls and assembled a Fentec Fence to divide the work area from the client’s back yard.

Russell Renovation

A dated four-level home, built circa 2004, has found new life as a retirement haven for its delighted owners.

The tired structure underwent a complete transformation with an emphasis on creating better entertainment spaces which includes a bar, wine cellar, and a new deck on the upper level. There’s a chic powder room and each bedroom now boasts its own ensuite.

The installation of a lift makes navigating the four levels a breeze and ensures the home is future-proofed.

Tackling the challenges of the tricky site and existing construction, the result is a blend of practicality and elegance.

Kerikeri New Home

This low-maintenance 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with expansive living areas was designed so that mum and dad can keep an eye on the kids wherever they are.

The dining and living areas open onto a huge deck for easy indoor outdoor flow – perfect for accessing the woodfire pizza oven and barbecue areas.
