A bungalow renovation & addition create a forever home in gorgeous earthy tones.

Central Auckland

A lovingly renovated bungalow & thoughtful addition have transformed this home into a forever haven, wrapped in warm, earthy tones.

"We didn't just get builders, we got humans who really cared about their work" - Amanda, homeowner.

Amanda and Terry were smitten with the charming character of their 1930s bungalow, so keeping those beautiful features was at the heart of their brief to Brett from Elevate Architecture.

Together, we brought that vision to life—restoring every inch of the home with crisp whites and calming earthy tones that highlight its craftsmanship and timeless details. The new extension flows seamlessly from the original house, continuing the character they love while creating space for a stunning new kitchen, dining, and living area.

Skylights now bathe the home in natural light, making it a warm, welcoming haven—perfect for this social family to gather, entertain, and make lasting memories.

We couldn’t be prouder of what we achieved together. Take a look at their gallery and video to see—and hear—the story behind their transformation.
