Villa 01

Villa 01 is an extensive refurbishment and extension of an existing transitional villa in Grey Lynn, Auckland. The project includes the addition of a new media room and garage at basement level, internally linked to a contemporary new extension that provides multiple living areas connected to a covered courtyard, pool, and terraced garden.

A key feature of the design is the way natural light is drawn into the heart of the villa, particularly through a large slice of skylight positioned above the internal stair. Windows frame views to the garden and pool, while built-in window seats create opportunities for connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

This project blends respect for the existing villa character with a confident, modern addition — tailored for flexible living, entertaining and enjoying the entire site.
