The home-owners were keen to enhance the historical character of the villa while renovating the contemporary family living area with the two aspects of the property to be different yet seamlessly flow between one another. We were tasked with stripping it right back to it's bones then under-taking the renovations.
As featured in Abode Magazine the publication went on to say, "This beautifully balanced restoration by Shaun Bradley Builders has delivered a superb contemporary family home...everything about this property exudes consideration and thoughtfulness."
With most of the original house destroyed in the 2011 earthquakes, the challenge for us was to keep the integrity of the original building. We took numerous photos and sketches of the old house before it was demolished as these would be vital in the planning and construction of the new build.
As featured in Abode Magazine the publication went on to say, "The home’s grand entrance, arched windows and the sweeping feature chimneys employ a sturdy galvanised steel frame structure that is clad in rustic red brick – making a stunning statement on this corner riverside location."
Shaun Bradley Builders completed an impressive 560m² new home on a private aerodrome, elevated 1.5m above the ground for panoramic views. The exterior features a blend of schist stone, cedar timber, and integra panels with rockcote plaster. Highlights include exposed aggregate concrete patios, 230m² of kwila timber decking, and custom cedar windows and doors. The home also boasts an espan tray roof, exposed timber trusses on schist columns, and nautical ship lights.
Inside, the home features 250m² of solid rimu flooring, cedar doors, and a 100m² bar designed like an Irish pub with oak joinery and a schist fireplace. The kitchen boasts a granite benchtop, gas fire, and log burner. There are four bedrooms, three fully tiled bathrooms, and a separate laundry.
