BUILDER: D&G Projects

LOCATION: Lower Hutt

A major renovation and restoration project was carried out to transform this Lower Hutt home. To remedy uneven foundations, the entire house was shifted to the back of the property, providing the opportunity to replace piles – then it was shifted back into place.  A  north-facing extension was added to replace the old lean-to.  Designed around natural light, warmth and open plan living.

A thoughtful interior remodelling resulted in a home that had the feel and functionality the 21st century house while honouring the original heritage qualities.
