GRAFTON BUNGALOW

A grossly neglected character bungalow, bought back from ruin and ready for a new chapter.

Our client, an Auckland property developer, who we have worked on similar projects in Grey Lynn, saw its potential and perfected positioning, and enlisted us to design a dramatic overhaul.

A redesign of the internal configuration – with three large bedrooms, two bathrooms and light open-plan living, kitchen and dining areas, opening up into the courtyard. The kitchen expanded, housing a larder/ scullery and each bathroom created using character tile and heritage features.

The external of the bungalow received an incredible upgrade, restoring stripped heritage details and landscaping.

It is our absolute privilege and honour to work with the preservation and resurrection of character homes such as this. Too many, so close to demolition due to neglect, and transform them into beautiful light, healthy and warm, character homes to be enjoyed and appreciated for decades to come.

Project Scope - concept design, developed design, resource consent, building consent, on-site monitoring.
