Make An Entrance

Winner of 5 Awards in 2024, this is a significant extension and a brilliant renovation that transformed this five-bedroom 1998 Tauranga home into an impressive retreat.

A Grand Entrance to Luxury

An architectural masterpiece, this home renovation redefines luxury with elegant detailing, expansive living spaces, and a seamless blend of classic and contemporary design.

The Transformation

A significant extension and a brilliant renovation by Kuriger Builders have transformed this five-bedroom 1998 Tauranga home into an impressive retreat. The original polystyrene plaster was replaced with a more durable AAC panel plaster system, ensuring longevity and improved insulation. Aesthetic enhancements include Abodo cladding and Hinuera natural stone, which now adorn the feature chimney and walls, adding timeless character.

The structural transformation extends beyond materials. The large family-wing addition seamlessly integrates with the existing structure, housing five bedrooms, four ensuites, and a unique kids’ loft. Thoughtful design choices maintain continuity—matching roof shingles preserve the original aesthetic, while dramatic large parapets create a striking entrance.

Throughout the home, space and function have been elevated. The extended layout now includes a rumpus room, office, guest suite with ensuite, additional bathroom, and powder room, all connected by stunning panelled hallways. The transformation is crowned by a new portico entry, providing an inviting and stately first impression.

A Hub for Family and Entertaining

The renovation’s true highlight lies in its creation of family-friendly entertainment spaces. The spacious living room, featuring vaulted ceilings and a central fireplace, offers warmth and elegance. However, the focal point is the custom brass-inlaid bar, topped with striking granite and complemented by a matching splashback, making it the ultimate social hub.

Designed for both casual and formal gatherings, the home seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor spaces. The Louvretec-covered outdoor living area features a woodfire, offering year-round comfort, while the adjoining formal dining room is linked via wrought-iron glazed sliding doors, adding a touch of grandeur.

The kitchen is equally impressive. A reeded-glass screen and sliding door provide flexible separation between the main kitchen and the outdoor barbecue kitchen area, ensuring functionality without sacrificing style. This thoughtful layout allows the home to retain its original character while embracing modern luxury, making it a true haven for family and entertaining.
