Nestled in the iconic streets of Ponsonby, a classic villa has undergone a striking facelift, expertly completed by AMC Construction. With a perfect blend of heritage charm and modern enhancements, this renovation showcases the fine craftsmanship and high-quality timber products from South Pacific Timber.

Key to the villa’s transformation was the use of South Pacific Timber’s Garapa Decking & Screening. This durable hardwood not only adds a stunning golden hue to the outdoor living areas but also ensures longevity and resistance to the elements—ideal for the unpredictable Auckland climate. The Garapa decking seamlessly extends the indoor spaces to the outdoors, creating a versatile and inviting entertainment area.

To maintain the villa’s classic character, Colonial Mouldings were installed throughout, adding a touch of elegance to doorways and ceilings. These mouldings, carefully selected to match the villa’s heritage aesthetic, offer a refined detail that ties the renovation together, balancing traditional design with modern updates.

For the exterior, Rusticated Weatherboards were chosen to restore the villa’s original charm while providing superior durability. The fine texture and clean lines of these weatherboards ensure that the villa maintains its timeless appeal while offering enhanced protection against wear and tear. An H3.2 Clear Radiata Pine Weatherboard was used, to match existing and provide an extended lifespan for the envelope.

Externally, Dressed Clears were used for bespoke finishing touches seen in balustrades and capping. Again, an H3.2 Clear product chosen for longevity.

The result is a stunning, rejuvenated villa that stands proudly in Ponsonby’s historic streets, with every aspect carefully curated to highlight the beauty of both traditional architecture and modern living. AMC Construction, paired with South Pacific Timber’s superior products, has created a home that is not only stylish but built to last for generations to come.

For projects that demand both quality and heritage preservation, South Pacific Timber offers the perfect range of timber solutions.
