Renovating in Mission Bay means designing around the harbour view, the climate, and modern family life.
Mission Bay is one of Auckland’s premier coastal renovation suburbs — Edwardian and Californian bungalows around the older streets, 1950s and 60s family homes climbing toward Glendowie and Kohimarama, mid-century modern in pockets, and waterfront builds along Tamaki Drive. The renovations that lift Mission Bay homes capture the harbour outlook, open the kitchen-living-dining to indoor-outdoor flow, and choose finishes that handle the salt-air climate. AVR has renovated across the bays.

We renovate Mission Bay homes across three core services.
We renovate Mission Bay homes across three core services: kitchens, bathrooms, and full home renovations or extensions. Each one is QS-priced before contract, built by our own team, and backed by the Master Builder 10-Year Guarantee.
Kitchen Renovations
Mission Bay kitchens we build are usually designed around the view — opening the kitchen to dining and living, running for indoor-outdoor flow to the deck or terrace, and choosing finishes that handle the coastal climate.

Opening up a bungalow without losing the character: Simon & Michelle’s open-plan kitchen.
From our recent Auckland portfolio: Simon & Michelle bought a tired bungalow and wanted modern, open-plan living without losing the character. We delivered exactly that.
Simon & Michelle wanted to modernise their bungalow without erasing the character. We removed the load-bearing wall using a laminated engineered timber beam, opened the kitchen to the living and dining, and installed a bespoke shaker-style kitchen that matched the bungalow’s detail. The result: light, flow, and a kitchen designed for everyday life and entertaining — all without changing the home’s soul. Council consent, architect, and kitchen designer coordination handled end-to-end.
