performance EncorE This weatherboard beauty on the Cashmere Hills has been gracefully restored, not once but twice. Words Gaynor Stanley Photos Charlie Rose Creative & Chaplin Crooks Architects
New windows introducing considerably more light and restoring period elegance – as in the case of the upstairs corner windows – are one of the owners’ favourite aspects of the renovation. bEforE A sense of anticipation builds as you ascend the stone stairs through woodland gardens to the front door of this attractive 94-year-old home reaching high into the sky. Halfway up I’ve reached the top of the basement level and take a breather to admire the bay windows that distinguish each level of the two-storey weatherboard. Arriving at the glass panelled front door, framed by full length windows either side, I can see an inviting carpeted entrance hall where a vibrant contemporary painting hangs above an antique sideboard and a wooden staircase rises to the left. There’s a story about that front door, Robyn says on greeting me. This wall of glass now floods the hallway and stairwell with light – a world removed from the heavy mahogany door that cloaked the entrance in gloom before renovations two years ago. Thoughtful redesign of both window and door openings is a feature of this betterment and renovation project carried out in 2<strong>01</strong>7 by Build Right <strong>Home</strong>s for Chaplin Crooks Architects. Other inappropriate internal mahogany doors, introduced since the home’s original construction in 1925, were also replaced. In the two upstairs corner bedrooms an awkward duo of windows in each, installed by a previous owner to enclose verandahs under the sloping eaves, were replaced with a more elegant single solution. In the old ‘box room’, a water tank was removed and new window installed to turn this small room into a more functional study. “We’re really happy with the new windows, they suit the house so much better,” says Robyn, who has lived in the home for 21 years with her husband Chris. Robyn and Chris have actually renovated twice over. In 2009 they commissioned Chaplin Crooks to change the ground floor layout of “three little rooms” into a more practical open floor plan, moving the dining room from the centre to front of the house – pushing out a window alcove to gain more floor space, the kitchen into the centre – adding a walk-in pantry, and opening the family room at the rear to a deck and courtyard. • Landscape Design • Plant Design • Plant Sourcing Ph: 027 688 4155 Email: design@epiclandscapes.co.nz Website: www.epiclandscapes.co.nz
