The Coastal Arch House

Full home renovation — Stanmore Bay, Auckland

A Fresh Chapter Begins

Our clients wanted more light, flow and functionality in their Stanmore Bay home - something welcoming, visually soft and future ready. With a tight upstairs footprint, every change had to earn its place.

What We Delivered

Opening the Living Space
We removed the central post and restructured ceilings to create a unified lounge and kitchen zone. A sleek gas fireplace became the focal point, while new timber floors warmed the entire area.

Kitchen with Character
Custom cabinetry, stone benchtops, brass tapware and soft arch details bring personality and flow between zones.

Bathrooms Reimagined
By reframing the layout, we gave space for a generous walk in shower and freestanding bath. The result is a stylish, high functioning and serene space.

Enhanced Indoor Outdoor Lifestyle
New joinery and a ranch slider flood interiors with light and lead out to a deck off the master bedroom, perfect for lazy mornings or entertaining.

Refreshed Facade & Exterior
Part of the home was clad in Axon panel and the entire exterior given a fresh coat. The transformation extends beyond the inside, it now performs, looks cohesive and feels brand new.

Teenage Retreat
The sleepout was upgraded with new custom joinery and a private ensuite, offering independence and connection in equal measure.

Project Highlights

  • Full upstairs renovation, from kitchen to bathroom to bedrooms

  • Structural removal and open plan reconfiguration

  • Statement arch details throughout for charm and flow

  • Bespoke cabinetry, timber flooring and quality fixtures

  • Exterior reclad + repaint + deck addition

The Result

The Coastal Arch House now balances calm, continuity and soft architectural details for a relaxed coastal feel. Daylight flows through arches, materials speak warmth and every space is designed to function beautifully. It’s a home that doesn’t just feel finished … it feels timeless.

Built to perform. Designed for life.
