Bayfair Drive
Why settle for two rooms when you can have three? This project was all about working smarter with the space available. We took two oversized rooms and completely reconfigured the internal layout to create three comfortable bedrooms, treating the master bedroom to a new walk-in wardrobe and adding plenty of built-in storage for the others. We even managed to carve out a handy study nook and give the ensuite a modern refresh. Working closely with the clients and our architect, we made sure the new layout flowed perfectly. To top it off, the whole house got a major facelift with a full re-clad and a brand-new roof—it honestly looks and feels like a completely new home.

Gaining more liveable space doesn't always require extending your foundation, and this project is a perfect example of what can be achieved within an existing footprint. As renovation specialists, Bayrise Builders navigated the structural challenges of this older home by pushing external walls into an underutilized porch and installing major structural beams to remove internal barriers. This allowed us to merge three separate entryways into one massive, open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. The entire home received a comprehensive uplift, including new insulation, wall linings, and double glazing, but the true highlight is the custom kitchen cabinetry. As our specialty, this bespoke joinery anchors the new space, proving that smart design can completely transform an older property into a modern, warm, and spacious home.

The kitchen truly is the heart of the home, and this project stands as one of the most extensive transformations Bayrise Builders has undertaken. We completely reimagined the floor plan by removing internal walls and relocating the kitchen from one side of the house to the other to maximize flow and functionality. Beyond the main culinary space, we fully modernised the adjoining laundry and created a spacious walk-in scullery. While the new Nectar oven adds a cozy, functional touch, the absolute standout feature is the custom printed glass splashback depicting the local Maketu cliffs. This renovation perfectly balances major structural changes with stunning aesthetic details to create a beautiful, personalized living space.
Saddlers Way
Looking for a little privacy and tranquility? The goal here was to carve out designated spots for enjoying that morning coffee and firing up the afternoon BBQ. We built custom bench seats and privacy screens ready for climbing plants, helping to whisk the owners away from the suburbs to a rural-style escape. We used stunning solid Purple Heart timber for the decking and tied it all together by using the same timber for the garden edging. This project is a great example of how we love bouncing ideas back and forth with our clients to nail a detailed design they truly love.
