After living in the historic 1880’s homestead “Waimarie” on one of Napier Hill’s most prestigious streets, this client wanted to upgrade to a home with more modern comforts while still retaining the essence of what this location provides. After settling on a subdivision, this dwelling sits on the lawn of Waimarie and provides the same spectacular views of the Bay, Marine Parade and Cape Kidnappers.
The brief was to capture Waimarie in a modern sense, which was achieved through the simple gable rooflines, raking ceilings and a contemporary take on the decorative fretwork by utilising batten screening to areas of the exterior and interior. To really incorporate the old with the new, one of the original stained-glass windows from Waimarie has been reinstated into the new dwelling, which provides a beautiful light quality with a touch of nostalgia.
This home is a classic, timeless design that exudes an air of tranquility and gives the owners plenty of options for entertaining and relaxing.
Our nationwide network covers many locations, and we’d love to talk with you about a home built around you.
