Renovating in Mt Albert means making homes built for a different era work for today.
Mt Albert is a diverse renovation suburb — Edwardian villas around the older streets, character bungalows scattered through, mid-century family homes climbing the slopes toward the maunga, and postwar weatherboards in pockets. As families grow, the original layouts — small enclosed kitchens, three bedrooms, one bathroom — run out of space. We open up the kitchen-living-dining, add bedrooms and bathrooms, and modernise without losing what makes the home worth keeping.

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.
