Villa Renovations

Villa renovations present unique challenges – and opportunities.

We are Auckland’s home renovation specialists – and it would be silly to call ourselves that if we weren’t familiar with the classic Kiwi villa.

These nostalgic timber cottages hearken back to a simpler time, when New Zealand was a land of stubbies, bare feet, and leaving your keys in the car. These days, the same villas are increasingly being renovated into high-end architectural icons. Done right, they can successfully fuse everything we love about the old and the new.

Because you’re working with pre-determined materials and a strict style, it’s important that the architects and builders know exactly what they’re doing. It’s very easy for even a competent builder to mess things up if they don’t know what villa renovations entail.

The building experience can – and should – offer so much more than that.

Build Firm lives and breathes Auckland villa renovations.

One of our favourite jobs is to renovate traditional villas and bungalows. Building is so often a highly technical science – but working with these villas and ensuring the original character is retained is more like an art form. There are so many ornate details and subtle touches that you don’t really see in modern architecture.

We believe the most important thing is to get to the heart of exactly what you want from the renovation. This allows us to strike the right balance between preserving the villa’s original character, and introducing new elements of functionality, modernity, and comfort.

A skilled architect will be able to come up with the perfect design for you, but once that’s done you’ll be relying on a builder to deliver the goods.
