GREY LYNN

RENOVATION
Viewed from the rear, this overhauled early 1900s home in inner Auckland is totally unrecognisable. Previous attempts to update the house have been completely wiped out by an ultra-contemporary, architect-driven renovation that will endure. 

The updated layout can be found past the villa’s original bedrooms, hall and ensuite. Three steps spill down to a modern bathroom and incredible open-plan living area. A multi-faceted skylight and sweeping deck open this space to the outdoors. 

Guests are welcome in the downstairs bedroom, served by a stunning new bathroom. Garaging and a laundry are also located downstairs. 

The ground level opens to a fully glassed outdoor room with built-in bar and conversation pit. Stacker doors connect to a landscaped pool and deck area. With colonial trims and batten ceilings, the front of the home has retained plenty of its original character.

 Double-glazed windows, above-code insulation and opulent styling has brought this portion of the home as up-to-date comfort-wise as the striking additions.
