Small Alterations to a Wellington Villa
A new kitchen, dining room and bathroom to a character villa in Wellington. This small scale project involved thoughtful alterations to a characterful inner-city villa in Wellington, introducing a new kitchen, dining area, studio, and bathroom to support contemporary living.
“
James was great to work with on our renovation project! He was deliberate and precise with all the details and was on site at critical stages of the work to ensure those details were realised. The management of the project was professional and communication throughout was clear. We love the finished product and thoroughly recommend Upoko.’
The owners’ deep appreciation for the home’s heritage guided the design approach.
Original wall linings and timber detailing were carefully retained, preserving the texture and craftsmanship that define the villa’s character.
New additions were designed to sit comfortably within this context, complementary in scale and proportion, yet expressed in a refined contemporary language. The result is a cohesive evolution of a uniquely Wellington home, where old and new work together to continue its story.
A light and clean new bathroom
A new bathroom has been added at the centre of the house, featuring a bright, clean design and material selections that match and respect the original home.
