Roseneath House Nearing Completion

‘Suitcase’ House All But Clad
Oct 2017
This small one bedroom house is not far from completion. Being that the owner works for an airline, the site overlooks Wellington Airport and Lyall Bay, and that the size of the house (51sqm incl. garage) reminds you of the luggage that fits conveniently in the overhead compartment of an aeroplane, the suitcase house might be a good name for this project.
Latest from Brooklyn
Aug 2017
Scaffold down and final fix underway for the house up beyond the Brooklyn turbine.

State House Addition & Alteration
Here are some images from a project currently under construction in Porirua.
The addition is macrocarpa clad with timber joinery and painted panel infill. Part of the idea is that the raw timber will age nicely next to the older brick cladding of the original state house.
Portfolio Updated
Hello. We’ve uploaded some more projects onto the portfolio page. This charming little garden studio in Paekakariki on the Kapiti Coast and this stealthy getaway house up in Kuratau next to Lake Taupo.
The photos are a little preemptive in that the projects weren’t quite finished at the time but we will have some nice completed shots online pretty soon.
Also we’ve got a few other completed jobs that we need to photograph for the website so stay tuned as the portfolio will be getting some more content real soon.
Albert Street Studio Published
A cool book came out towards the end of last year called ‘Small House Living’ which covers a range of houses around the country which are less than 90sqm in floor area.
Happily for us the Albert Street Studio made the cut and was included. Choice.
We do work in Auckland too…
We were recently up in Auckland to photograph a couple of projects that were finished last year. One is on the North Shore and the other back down south at Mangere Bridge. We’ve also got some initial photos up of the recently completed house and flat up in Brooklyn, more to come soon on that one…
Wilton Pop Top
Jun 2015
The alteration up in Wilton is cranking along. The guys on site got the roof on before the rough weather hit so the existing house was spared relying on tarps for the real cold stuff. Not far from being closed in, and the deck bridge structure is in place. Awesome day up on site for these pictures catching the last of the winter western sun.
Check out the new jobs in the portfolio
We just uploaded some jobs on to the web site that were completed over the last year – one office fit out and one print shop fit out.
We have also added a few residential projects. One of which we’ve recently taken through to building consent and another named the PeaBox which has just finished construction. All photos for the built projects are by architectural photographer Andy Spain. Happy viewing….

Roof just about finished
Nov 2013
Last pieces of butynol to go down and the medical centre will be fully roofed.
Internal layouts for all floors taking shape, first fit for many of the trades about to take place so site is about to become very busy. Aim is to have all cladding and painting done before Christmas break so scaffolding can come down.
Kelburn Renovation
Nov 2013
This project is almost complete now, but we thought it would be useful to put up some images that show the transformation and the scale of what has been achieved. These photos show the creation of the basement garage. After removing loads of dirt and building some serious block walls, we ended up with an airy spacious garage and workshop, in an area that was previously uninhabitable
Northland Extension
Nov 2013
This project is also nearing completion.The new 2-storey extension has opened up views to the Cook Strait and the harbour for this Northland family. These photos are taken before the balustrade is fitted, and you really get a feel of how the volume works.
