1930's bungalow renovation in Sandringham, Auckland

Bungalow Renovations Auckland 

When the homeowner first contacted Refresh Renovations they already had the consent plans prepared and were enthusiastic to team up with experts who could make the project happen. 

1930 Bungalow Renovation Auckland | Planning for the Dream

The home itself was designed slightly ahead of its time. Still holding typical bungalow features, there was an extra contemporary edge which really helped the building age gracefully over the past decades.

As no large amount of charm had been lost over time, the initial idea was to renovate only the most dated areas of the home. This plan would have the bathroom and kitchen reconstructed, along with an extension of the back deck and reconfiguration of the connecting living room wall.

Working Drawings & Cost

Corey, the Renovation Specialist, finds it best to try to cover 90% of the planning during this phase. Not only does the approach make for a less stressful transition into construction, but it also leaves a bit of wiggle room for the inevitable changes. 

Starting Construction

This change to the project forced the renovation length to increase from 4 months to a 6-month timeline. With this extension, the builders not only installed the beautiful louvre roof above the back deck but also used the spare time to straighten up some walls that were 55mm out.

Living to Outdoor Flow

The renovation team refined the flow between the living room and upgraded outdoor space by replacing the windows and doors along the deck-facing wall. The warm-toned timber framing worked noticeably well next to the sage green wall paint that was included in the colour palette for the full house repaint.

Unforgettable Tiling

Vibrant and rich with earthy tones, the tiles give a lavish yet natural air to the kitchen and bathroom. They’re a truly memorable element of the house, as anyone who passes through will find it hard to forget the deep green, washed light blue, and woven copper.

But despite these two rooms, Corey considers the outdoor deck and roof to be the greatest attraction of the renovation. Set apart by its bulky, laminated timber structure, grooved soffit panels, and LED downlights; it certainly steals the show.

What are some current design trends in renovated Auckland bungalows?

When renovating their bungalows, many Auckland homeowners will look for designs that can balance modern functionality with a bungalow’s existing character. To achieve this, many will opt for chic modern kitchens and bathrooms that blend in nicely with classic hardwood floors, ceiling beams and other wooden accents throughout the home. Many homeowners are also leaning toward a farmhouse or cape cod interior style, which can go nicely with the original characteristics of a bungalow.  At Refresh®, we know one size doesn’t fit all. Whether your stylistic specifications fit in with these trends or contrast with them, we’ll be glad to support you.
