kaiwharawhara views home renovation 

A contemporary retreat with breathtaking harbour and hill views

This renovation embraced the Murray and Susan’s transition to a contemporary lifestyle while incorporating personal and family-focused details, ensuring a homely and welcoming feel.

Moving into a modern, city-fringe home with stunning sea and city views was a fresh chapter for this couple’s active retirement lifestyle. The wholehearted renovation balanced their desire for a contemporary aesthetic with meaningful personal touches to maintain a strong connection to their family and their past.

A key design feature was the use of glass, which highlighted the owners’ love of light, lighting, and displaying their extensive collections. To enhance the home’s character, strong contrasts of light and dark were used to create drama and depth without overwhelming the space. The expansive harbour and hill views served as a guiding influence, with the design complementing, rather than competing with, the breathtaking outlook.

The final result is a contemporary and inviting home that feels sophisticated, personal, and effortlessly connected to its stunning surroundings.
