Complete kitchen renovation in a character home featuring heritage rimu bulkheads and stained glass windows. The existing kitchen was outdated with wasted storage space and non-functional layout.

Key Features:

  • Preserved and integrated existing rimu bulkheads
  • Recessed refrigerator for space optimization
  • Full-height pantry with pull-out shelves
  • Stone benchtops with structural support for bay window
  • LED strip lighting throughout
  • Functional breakfast bar replacing pass-through opening

Challenges Overcome:

  • Sourcing timber to perfectly match existing rimu features
  • Protecting heritage elements during construction using Zipwall dust barriers
  • Navigating narrow second-floor access for stone benchtop installation
  • Integrating modern functionality while maintaining character

Result: A contemporary, highly functional kitchen that seamlessly blends with the home's heritage features, maximizing storage and improving workflow while preserving architectural character.

Client Feedback: "Excellent building - tidy, professional and extremely competent. Project management was excellent and met all timelines." - Shona Hutchinson & Ken Beguely

Professional Reviews

1 / 7

“We were extremely satisfied with Pete and Build Unlimited's project management of our renovation. The project was completed on time with a challenging short timeline and several challenges. Pete managed the sub-contractors exceptionally and professionally. He was very dedicated to finishing the project to a high standard and worked well with our interior designer and ourselves to bring our villa transformation to life - such a good job that it made the NZCB Revere Magazine. We would highly commend Pete and the team's job for their top management and workmanship of our renovation. Most appreciated.”
