A distinguished but tired 1940s Hutt Valley villa received a significant facelift, transforming it into an entertainer’s dream and a spacious home for modern family living.

The kitchen was moved from a small corner at the back of the home to a large gabled extension that included scullery and living space.

Stacker corner doors link to a generous covered deck with built-in fireplace.

Skylights throughout the extension flood the space with light despite the southern aspect and a complex structural design maximises open space without the need for portal frames.
