From demo… to this! 👏🏠🍻. Just a few weeks ago we were pulling this countryside home apart - now the floor is down, the framing is up, and most of the roof is on! Our team have done a wicked job working alongside the great bunch of guys at West Coast Roofing as the marry up the old and new, making sure it all looks seamless. This renovation is getting a full transformation, including a brand new wing and complete interior renovation. The new bones are being married up with the old bones and it’s all starting to look like a home again, and we’re only getting started! 🤩

Countryside Reno!

DAY 1 — DEMO BEGINS 🔨

Today marks the start of something pretty special.

It has been a long time coming for the home owners and the excitement is real! All the pre work has been completed and its now tools time!

We’re kicking off a renovation + extension on this old countryside home — stripping it back before bringing it forward into something new.

There’s always something satisfying about the demo stage… clearing the way for what’s coming next.

Over the next few months we’ll be documenting the full journey:
• Before → After
• Challenges along the way
• Build details most people never see
• The transformation as it all comes together

This one’s going to be a good one.

Follow along ✌️

Behind the design 🏡✏️

Every successful renovation starts with careful planning and thoughtful decisions. At this stage, we’re working through the details — refining the layout, reviewing the plans, and selecting the materials and finishes that will shape the new spaces.

For this renovation and extension, it’s all about creating a cohesive feel throughout the home. From tapware and vanities to lighting, flooring, and fixtures, every element is chosen to work together and complement the overall design.

A few red pen notes on the plans and a curated finishes board are all part of the process as we bring the vision for this home to life.

The details we decide on now make all the difference once construction begins. 👀🏗️

Old Farm Rd – Final Stages in Sight!

We’re excited to share that our Old Farm Rd multi-unit student accommodation development is now heading into the final stages of construction 👷‍♂️

After months of hard work, the project is really coming to life. Exterior works are currently getting completed, interiors are nearly finished, and the spaces are starting to feel like real homes. Kitchens are installed, services are being wrapped up, and the final touches are underway as we push toward completion.

Designed specifically for modern student living, these units deliver smart layouts, durable finishes, and low-maintenance spaces built to last. Seeing the transformation from groundwork to near-finished accommodation has been incredibly rewarding for the whole team.

✨ Final fit-offs underway
✨ Outdoor areas and concrete works progressing
✨ Completion getting closer every week

Not long now until these doors open — stay tuned for the finished result!

Do we design and build?
Yes, we certainly do!
In fact, we design EVERY SINGLE HOUSE we build!
This is something we pride ourselves in as we take care to make sure every house fits the site , taking advantage of the space, light, views and even considering the neighbours. We also think about how the new owners will live in the house, making sure it will function really well for everyday family living.

This duplex was built for Veni Homes in the subdivision of Tunawhakapeke. The site is a bit of an awkward shape, with neighbours who have been there for quite some time already. We wanted to make sure that they weren't going to feel like a giant house was now over empowering them and taking away light. Hence we now have a duplex with the second story being a lower footprint than the ground floor and a sloped roof that has given us beautiful angled skylights in the bathrooms and bedrooms.

Other considerations that are a must, especially for the houses in Tunawhakapeke?
- Plenty of storage
- Plenty of light
- Tiled bathrooms/showers
- Good sized bedrooms
- Quality bathroom fittings (Thanks and Robertsons!)
- Kitchen's that are thoughtful and functional with stone benchtops
- Study nooks where possible for the modern work from home life
- Quality flooring that will stand the test of time.
- Space for the whole family!

This duplex is currently for sale. If you want to know more contact Glenn and Greg at Lodge https://lodge.co.nz/buy/properties-for-sale/listing/LC20979
