Blair Avenue – Papanui
Over 100 years old and well past her prime, many would have thought this old lady was destined for a date with a bulldozer. But not our clients – they were fully committed to restoring her to her former glory and entrusted us with the challenge. It was a big task to bring her back up to scratch and prepare her for her new life as a commercial office building for a well-known, local real estate agency.

The main feature of this home was to be its timber weatherboard cladding.
