Renovations

Across the projects, remodel work ranges from focused updates to broader changes across several rooms. Wairangi Villa by Julian Guthrie Architecture shows how an interior renovation can be considered alongside the building’s structure, daylight, materials, and connection to the yard.

Use each project to review details relevant to your brief, including kitchen and bathroom layouts, built-in storage, surface finishes, stair design, and the treatment of original elements. Hill View Remodel by Mark Richardson Architects provides a reference point for discussing scope, documentation, and construction sequencing with an architect or contractor.

Review the plan, circulation, storage, lighting, material transitions, and the way new work meets the existing structure. These details can turn a general idea into a clearer renovation brief.

The projects provide references for durable finishes, compact bathrooms, lighting layers, and clear wayfinding. Residential work still requires materials and layouts suited to household use.

Record the rooms affected, the required changes, preferred materials, and any structural or services constraints. Share this information with your design professional before setting the construction scope.
