Dreaming of a contemporary or traditional alteration?

An alteration or extension in keeping with a traditional villa or bungalow style.

You might want an alteration or addition that retains the traditional architectural style of your villa or bungalow. Perhaps it’s the classic lightshades, the cast iron fireplaces or wide kauri floorboards, whatever the reason, you love your villa or bungalow, but want to make it fit better with your modern lifestyle – warmer, brighter, drier and more comfortable.

We have the experience to develop the full potential of your property. After all, we built some of the original New Zealand villas.

A contemporary alteration or extension to seamlessly integrate with the existing house.

Perhaps you want to go more contemporary – modern lighting, open plan living areas, big picture-windows and plenty of secure space to park your cars. Your contemporary addition can seamlessly integrate with the existing house while meeting the need to retain the traditional façade of your home. Contemporary materials and clean lines, our craftsmanship will make your renovation shine, giving you a warm, bright, healthy and spacious home.

For those who own land or a section of land

An architectural home that’s as unique and individual as you

What our clients are saying

Check out what our clients are saying, working with the Henry Brown & Co Ltd. team…

Martin & Nicola, Napier

Martin

  • You couldn’t ask for more than the drive and attention to detail!

    — Lisa Webb

    “As an architect, you couldn’t ask for more than the drive and attention to detail he poured into creating a beautiful, simple, flexible living space.

    Henry Brown & Co Ltd ensured the job proceeded without stress, delays or problems. I loved being warm and cosy in the house, watching the snow falling, absorbed by the beauty of the mountains.”

  • We needed outstanding workmanship. We got it.

    — Janet Muir

    “We wanted to build a simple timber holiday home that would both belong to and reflect the power of the surrounding mountains.

    Because we planned to use alot of exposed timber and concrete, attention to detail and finish was imperative through out the building process.

    We needed outstanding workmanship. We got it. We love our alpine home. It is warm, inviting and we are thrilled with the wow factor it produces in visitors as they enter.”

  • Henry Brown and Co. have completed six renovations and one new build and each time have exceeded our expectations!

    — Tex Edwards

    “As a property investor, I needed a builder that understood the particular requirements of renovating investment property and the need to make a return.

    It was essential that each build must be completed within a reasonable budget and to my expectations.

    So far Henry Brown and Co. have completed six renovations and one new build and each time have exceeded our expectations.”

  • Richard and his team were so great to work with that we have used them on every project!

    — William Peters

    “I love buying and renovating homes to my standard and within my budget. I’ve done it 4 times in the last 15 years.

    We needed a builder who could work with our “creative” air and adapt to change along the way. We also needed someone we could trust since we lived in the home throughout the renovation.

    Richard and his team were so great to work with that we have used them on every project. When I do my next project we will be calling on the team again.”
