What strikes you first about this renovation in Wellington’s Ōwhiro Bay is the powerful combination of vertical metal and horizontal cedar weatherboard cladding. Rising up the hill over three levels the home definitely says ‘look at me’. The roof is now equipped with Diamond Corrugate metal roofing with solar panels to highlight its sustainable and environmentally conscious design. All the parts you can’t see have also been considered with foundations reinforced for structural integrity and longevity. Complete renovation of the interior has allowed an energy-efficient heat pump central heating system and a hard-wired alarm system to be installed for comfort and security. Electric blinds on windows ensure privacy can also be achieved at the touch of a button.
New bathrooms, ensuites, walk-in robes and a generous custom-made kitchen make the family home fit for modern living with storage solutions ensuring a place for everything. Decorative scotias and skirtings are a nod to the past and add interest to the white, bright, minimal interiors warmed by American oak parquet flooring. Step outside to the deck and take in the sun streetside, or to the lawn around the back where play areas for children and adults complete this harmonious, modern home of which the owners can be very proud.
