The second project of our renovation road trip is at the top of the South Island - Richmond. Known as a town surrounded by stunning natural landscapes – lakes, mountains, rivers, native bush, beaches and promising plenty of sunshine.
Our Diamond in Richmond. She might not be a diamond just yet, but we can sure see her potential. A 1910’s beauty, a flat faced villa with a central hallway, high studs, and the lean-to extensions added over her 100 year life. Another big outside area, screaming for some attention and the chance to create some great outside living spaces.

Covered with a pergola, so it feels like an extension of the dining room. A paved area for a more casual and relaxed outdoor space. And then a lawn - to make sure there is plenty of green and great for kids to play on.
