We decided to call this project “The Sanctuary” because this awesome Westmere home blended so nicely into the surrounding tree’s making it feel like a bird sanctuary. This home undertook major construction over 15months. Our client had a young child and wanted to live in during the work as much as possible which made things very tricky from an H&S side of things. We propped the entire house using steel that would eventually become the structure and excavated 4.5m under the existing house.
QBS were engaged to manage & build this modern take on the classic Auckland villa. The existing brick home was removed and the site cleared for this awesome design. The house was high end with grand foyers and ceilings, a large designer staircase, beautiful kitchens and bathrooms and one super cool pool! The finishes included cedar shingles, multiple skylights, weatherboards, and italian tiles. This project really shows what QBS can do! we can build anything!
Designer Home that was a 90% re-build and extend from 300m2 cottage to a 780m2 Architectural retreat with views back across Auckland.
