Location

Project cost
$0.5m - $1m

A run-down villa with multiple renovations was stripped back to its villa bones and a new spacious, light and airy addition added living spaces at the rear. Existing villa spaces were renovated in traditional style, while the new addition was carefully connected to the villa with more contemporary detail, allowing old and new to juxtapose but sit well together.

From entry, you are drawn through the villa to the voluminous new addition and its leafy aspects outside. A generous open plan living space, flooded with clerestory light, spans the rear of the house, and flows effortlessly onto decks and garden beyond. Multiple spaces provide both quiet and social zones for easy, modern family living.

About the
Professional

Four Walls Architecture is a boutique, award-winning NZIA practice that prides itself on concise, clear, calm and beautifully crafted architecture both inside and out. We believe in architecture that stands the test of time, through its function, purpose, materiality and quality of design. Our clients are our priority; without you, we cannot create, so we leave aside ego and put you, your budget and your project vision at the centre of all our work.

We have worked throughout New Zealand, in its unique coastal, rural and urban environments, so we know how every site brings its own design opportunities and constraints, and how to make the best of both. We have an exceptional team who are equally committed to your project; you are in safe hands at every project stage as we help you bring your project to fruition, from the first meeting to completion.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
