A modest renovation and extension of a tiny two-bedroom ex-state house in Onehunga, undertaken by busy professionals – Joseph and his wife Ilona, also an architect. This was never going to be their dream project, but nevertheless a chance to be hands-on throughout the entire process.

"Being architects and designers we had always talked about doing up our own home but being closely related to both designer and builder I had my reservations about going down this route. Both Joseph and Allan proved to be both professional and sympathetic to my wishes and aspirations as a “client”. Would I do it again? Most definitely."
