Character comforts
A comprehensive renovation has given this 1950s home modern liveability while hanging on to its appealing original character – comfy mid-century furniture completes the picture
Clear winner
This multi-award winning home celebrates views and natural light thanks to 42 windows & glass doors, some nearly 3m tall – Altus® Window Systems supplied the advanced window / door systems that made this possible
Low slung and low upkeep
To negotiate the sloping ground in this landscaping project, three schist retaining walls were built – the low-upkeep gardens feature native plants including tussocks, coprosma, hebe and corokia
Moody and masculine
This ensuite's moody, and somewhat masculine colour scheme incorporates large porcelain panels and a dark timber veneer vanity – completing the picture, black Alape Unisono basins, from Reece, stand to attention
Open sesame
This interior has been transformed with the idea of giving the whole space an industrial atmosphere – a giant steel-framed door now separates off the master suite to dramatic effect
Give me summer!
A swimming pool spells summer fun for everyone – except maybe for the one who maintains it. Installing an automated pool cover, however, is a total game changer
