This stunning renovation and extension by Smith & Sons Takapuna is a project that all involved are very proud of. Intentionally designed to be a modern addition to the traditional early 1900’s cottage, this extension replaced much of the rear of the existing house. It is clad in a mixture of dark stained board & batten vertical cladding and a lighter stained ship-lapped horizontal weatherboard. Beautiful polished native rimu floorboards compliment the lovely modern kitchen and lounge area. The resulting showcase of quality workmanship and design, complemented by a very well managed project meant these clients were very happy with their new family home.

Built from the ground up on 80 acres outside Dallas, Oregon, this new modern ranch house is a balanced blend of natural and industrial elements. The custom home beautifully combines various materials, unique lines and angles, and attractive finishes throughout. The property owners wanted to create a living space with a strong indoor-outdoor connection. We integrated built-in sky lights, floor-to-ceiling windows and vaulted ceilings to attract ample, natural lighting. The master bathroom is spacious and features an open shower room with soaking tub and natural pebble tiling. There is custom-built cabinetry throughout the home, including extensive closet space, library shelving, and floating side tables in the master bedroom. The home flows easily from one room to the next and features a covered walkway between the garage and house. One of our favorite features in the home is the two-sided fireplace – one side facing the living room and the other facing the outdoor space. In addition to the fireplace, the homeowners can enjoy an outdoor living space including a seating area, in-ground fire pit and soaking tub.

Luxurious Poolside Retreat with Colombian Flair Indulge in the ultimate relaxation at this luxurious poolside retreat, showcasing Colombian Flair with its elegant stonework, comfortable lounge chairs, and shaded sitting areas. Designed and installed by our expert team, this outdoor oasis is perfect for enjoying sunny days and cozy evenings in style.

The home was built in the mid-1960’s as the personal residence of a commercial developer using commercial construction methodologies and systems. Tying into a structure that is almost entirely steel and concrete, and bringing it up to current code required a greater level of engineering expertise that was managed successfully by the builder.
