Home Additions Services

“We owned an architectured home that needed bringing into 21st century for maximum presentation for resale. Debra did an exceptional job in designing and managing the process. We were kept informed every step of the way and the final result exceeded even our highest expectations.”

“Natalie has advised and shared her expertise with us through various projects over the last six years. This has ranged from furnishing our lounge and dining room, designing a kitchen table and recommending and sourcing curtains for our new home. On first meeting Natalie I was impressed with her inventive and thoughtful ways of putting a project together. Natalie has always been extremely professional but also very personable. She listens to her clients and provides a service in line with budgets, lifestyles and personalities. Natalie is extremely diligent, talented and an absolute perfectionist in the service she provides and the recommendations she makes. We have been absolutely delighted with the schemes she has provided for us which have always been unique. The quality of her recommended products have been extremely high and have received many positive comments. Natalie always stands by her work and if there are ever any issues will always go the extra mile to rectify it. I can not recommend Natalie enough. Her work is outstanding. She is reliable, professional and very easy to deal with.”

“Kate was highly recommended to us by some friends so we contacted her to redesign the interior / exterior of our house. We had a specific design brief and asked Kate to bring her ideas to design our dream home. Kate was very friendly and helpful and we are very happy with what she provided us. We can't wait to put it in place now :)”

“Alpha 1 built our beautiful home 3 years ago and we will be leaving in a box, we absolutely love it! The architect's plan was very complex but the actual build was carried out so professionally that stress was kept to a minimum. Paul met us weekly with updates so any issues arising were resolved immediately. We would recommend Alpha 1 to anyone planning a major renovation or new build.”

“I contacted Wayne from recommendations saying that he was reliable and was doing smaller reno jobs in the area. I was surprised at the prompt contact, timely and professional. From there it was all go - they could do the work and fit the time lines I had been hoping for. The plan for the veranda came together easily, Wayne and the builder quickly grasped what I envisaged the end result would look like, and gave excellent advice. And wow, the team arrived and within days the wood was painted, the perfect colour and finish, and the veranda was up and finished. Even my neighbours came out to marvel at what a great addition the veranda was to my home and how beautiful it is. This renovation has improved our lifestyle by creating an outdoor living area, and I have no doubt it has added value to my home. Thank you Wayne your talented and friendly team. Highly recommended.”

“Contract was for a fixed price house/land package 3bdrm 1bthrm. House was built in great time to a great standard. They were very helpful and gave us great advice to help us stay within budget so we could meet the requirements of KiwiSaver HomeStart Grant”

“We had designed our first new home ourselves, but second time around it wasn’t so easy. We had a basic concept in mind, but couldn’t bring it all together and “make it fit”. We chose Mike for two reasons, firstly he’d been recommended by a friend to check him out and we loved the look of his previous designs, and secondly because he’d completed a builder’s apprenticeship. It was important to us that our architect also had practical building knowledge. Mike came back to us with a design that incorporated all the things that we had asked for, but also added some quirky features and design elements that we would never have come up with on our own. He visited us on site, and was always respectful of our preferences and worked hard to pull the whole design together. We would definitely recommend him to others who are looking for a professional, considerate, and innovative architect.”

“Rogan Nash have undertaken extensive redesign of the main living areas on our character Stucco Bungalow in Remuera. The latest project, currently underway is a complete revamp of the Lounge and dining room. This has involved advice on room layouts and colour scheme, selection and procurement of furniture, lighting, new fireplaces, shutters etc and liaison with sub-contractors. All work has been carried out to our complete satisfaction.”

“James and I had the pleasure of working with Nick and Ashley of AO Architecture while planning the renovation and extension of our 100 year old home in St Albans We had numerous meetings with Nick and Ashley to discuss our project. We wanted our home to be practical and user-friendly, cosy, warm, good looking and to retain much of the original character of the house. The end result is all of that and more and we are extremely happy with it. Nick and Ashley were both determined for their design to meet our needs/wants. At the same time, they were always able to come up with new ideas and solutions when we came across roadblocks. They dealt with the council efficiently (something we wouldn’t have been able to do) and communicated regularly and easily with us. The whole process was smooth and they were both a pleasure to work with. We have ended up with a house that feels like it will be our ‘forever home’. We love it. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending AO architecture to anyone building or renovating a home. James and Emily”

“We have hired Houston Architects for our major renovation project, we pretty much rebuilt our family home. Wayne was a pleasure to deal with, always very attentive. The results speak for itself, we couldn't be happier.”
