Reworking the home you already love
Not every project is a new home. Sometimes the answer is to rework or extend a home you already love, done properly. We take on architectural renovations and extensions across Nelson and Tasman, bringing the same design-led, high-performance approach to an existing home: better light, warmer and drier rooms, and a result that feels considered rather than tacked on.
Why renovate with us
Design that respects the existing home, with warmer, drier, healthier rooms and performance built into the addition, not just the look. One accountable team runs the whole job, and open-book pricing means you see every dollar, which matters twice over when surprises can hide in old walls.

Renovations and extensions, answered.
Do you do renovations and extensions as well as new builds?
Yes. We bring the same design-led, high-performance approach to reworking and extending existing homes across Nelson and Tasman, with the same open-book pricing and one accountable team. Paton Road is one of ours.
Can you make an older home warmer and drier?
Usually, yes. Insulation, airtightness detailing, better glazing and ventilation can transform how an older home feels and runs. We assess what your home needs and tell you honestly what will make the biggest difference for your budget.
What does a high-end renovation cost?
It depends entirely on the scope and the state of the existing home, so we will not guess. We work through the scope with you, price it open-book so you see the real costs, and always carry a sensible contingency, because surprises can hide in old walls.
