More light, space and connections to the exterior were the requirements for this project based in Remuera, East Auckland.

Ceiling detail was added to the existing roof form.

Central to the renovation was providing more light through skylights enhancing the volume and sense of space in the living areas.

The existing house had an awkward previous addition with separated living spaces too closely connected with sleeping spaces.

C–Architecture repurposed the living spaces to be more connected and open, while respecting the established formal lounge and dining areas. C–Architecture also gave more definition to sleeping areas with an established hallway, whilst actually increasing the bedrooms in size.

The lower level was extensively repurposed for storage and guest accomodation. A deck and access to the pool connected the space to facilities enjoyed by the upper level.
