The Master Builders citation describes the project “this split-level Grey Lynn villa has been superbly updated for modern life. Enter through the classic, freshly finessed porch and step inside this superbly light and spacious contemporary abode. A central hall spills down a set of steps to the inviting open-plan domain. Upstairs, the master bedroom suite, study and ensuite enjoys an extensive outlook over the surrounding homes.” 

Details such as decorative tiling and the original ceilings maintain the connection to the villa’s heritage. The clean sharp fresh lines and wide glazing opens onto a modern sunny terrace.
