A bird’s-eye view of the Pitau Residence.

Working with a tight site in the heart of downtown Mount Maunganui, we’ve managed to pack a lot into this piece of dirt.

A swimming pool, basketball court, internal-access garage, two lounges, four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a generous open-plan kitchen, living and dining space.

Proof that a narrow site doesn’t have to mean compromising on space or lifestyle.

Details from our Minden Project.
A considered extension to a century-old home, designed to feel as though it has always belonged. Traditional detailing and craftsmanship honour the home’s original era, while thoughtful updates allow it to function beautifully for modern family life.

Old-world character, made for modern living.

We love this sunken down lounge with the sun pouring in at a recently completed project. Perfect for a cosy night in or some late night d & m’s.
