Some of the work we're proudest of isn't a private home at all.
This is the waterfront community park in Lions Bay — built with architect Nick Bray — and it's a space the whole town gets to use. Building right at the edge of the ocean changes every decision. Salt air is hard on a structure, so everything was chosen to last decades, not seasons: marine-grade coated steel columns, natural granite retaining walls and steps, and cladding that can take the coast year after year.
And because it's a public space, safety comes first — stable terracing, solid footings, and finishes that stay safe long after we've packed up and gone.
Public work keeps you honest, and it makes us better builders everywhere else, too. The same discipline carries straight back into the custom homes and restorations we do across the North Shore.
Next time you're in Lions Bay, go have a look — it's built to be enjoyed.
