A Light-Filled Family Retreat

With an expanding family in mind, the owners of this classic villa sought an extension to create more space while maintaining the charm of their original home. A sun study was conducted to ensure natural light filled the house throughout the day, resulting in a warm and welcoming environment that enhances the comfort of every room.

Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living

The design brief was clear: preserve the classic look of the Kiwi villa while expanding the space to include an open indoor-outdoor flow. The building team worked closely with the owners, who had a keen eye for design, to find solutions that balanced both aesthetic desires and budget constraints. The result is a home that beautifully merges timeless architecture with modern living.

A Vision Brought to Life

Alongside the villa extension, the owners wanted a new garage that complemented the home’s style. The final result is a cohesive, well-planned space that not only meets the functional needs of a growing family but also stands as a thoughtful response to the property’s original character. It’s a home designed for living, reflecting the collaborative efforts of everyone involved.
