MOUNT EDEN BUNGALOW | HERITAGE RENOVATION & EXTENSION
At the base of one of Auckland's most recognisable landmarks, this 1920s bungalow had the address and the bones but not the layout to match either. Dim, compartmentalised and short on the kind of spaces a modern family needs, it had been quietly underperforming for years.
The renovation set that right. An internal reconfiguration introduced a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite to the master suite, while the rear of the home was opened into a generous open-plan kitchen, living and dining space. The shift from closed and dark to light and connected came through reorganising the existing fabric rather than building outward.
The scullery deserves its own mention - a multifunctional space that doubles as a bar area, turning a practical room into something worth showing off. To the rear, a new balcony extends the entertaining space outward, the bungalow now as capable of hosting a gathering as it is of quiet family life.
