The first time I met the White house, I was impressed with her grandeur and character having retained all her original features, but , she was tired and dark and in need of a little prescriptive care from the House Doctor - especially if her owners wanted to sell her for top $. She had strong bones and high ceilings and direct access to her own beach, all features that are highly desirable in the property market. With great clients to work with the White house was an easy fix and a simple rejig or the floor plan, a new kitchen, bathroom and a repaint was all the magic she needed to fix her real estate aches and pains. The results were so successful she attracted the attention of Your Home & Garden and stylist Natalie Hoelen.

I am so excited about the opportunity to finally have a pool at my home. I really want to get it right and wonder if I should consult a landscaper prior to deciding on the house plan to ensure the layout of the house is going to be in the optimum position for a lap pool setting. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Our clients came to us explaining that their home was just not working for their growing family. They loved their home but the living area was a long narrow space from the lounge through the kitchen, the children shared bedrooms and everyone in the family needed space of their own. Tailored Building Solutions undertook a site visit to chat with our client, addressing their main wants and needs, and what their compromises were. The musts were: Open plan living, the children needed their own bedrooms, and ideally a separate laundry and pantry. Tailored Building Solutions worked closely with our architect to achieve these wants and what had been to date only dreams. Utilising the space the family already had, but cleverly pushing up the home to another floor, the end project speaks for itself. Not only did we manage to create a beautiful indoor/outdoor flow, an open plan living space but also an additional bedroom on the same level. We also created the owners a beautiful new master suite, encompassing beautiful views of the ocean and valley. From design to the finished home the owners are LOVING the result.
