Character Home Renovation

Working with classic character homes — finding the right balance between traditional and contemporary design.

What's included

  • Renovations that celebrate the original character — bungalows, villas and period cottages
  • Modern open plan living introduced while the architectural fabric and integrity of the original character remains
  • Reuse and recycling of original materials — windows, matai flooring, weatherboards and timber shingles — to reduce waste and cost
  • Skylights, stacker sliders and clever planning to bathe gloomy interiors in sunlight
  • Interior design and joinery detailing in keeping with the era

Who it suits

Owners of 1920s–1940s character homes who want modern light, warmth and open plan living without losing what makes their home special — a respectful extension which celebrates the bungalow style, but embraces a contemporary interior.
