112 | Keeping all the existing character Elmm Projects is driven by its passion and commitment to its projects. Elmm Projectrs T T Kelly Deeks BUILDING Elmm Projects is proud to be part of the restoration and preservation of the Wellington’s old homes, keeping all the existing character at the streetfront and sensitively integrating an harmonious extension at the rear, securing the region’s historical architecture as the modern, warm, and clean homes of the future. “Whether it’s from the 1930s or 40s, 60s or 70s, these homes have great bones and timeless design,” says Elmm Projects director Brad Tautuhi. “We do the type of full house renovations where the family moves out and by the time they come back, you wouldn’t know where the old house stopped and the new extension begins. It’s modern, warm, and clean, and it still has that character from the street.” Brad says a lot of Wellington’s beautiful and enduring residential architecture has got everything but space and probably, piles. Elmm Projects will replicate the existing character of a home on its new extension with hand crafted detailing and materials and timber recycled from the existing home. Modern joinery of aluminium or PVC will be installed with Elmm Projects applying the same sill detail as the original windows. Elmm Projects is driven by its passion and commitment to its projects and driving the team is turning its clients’ dreams into reality. “Our commitment to our clients is to bring their vision to life and create a home they love,” Brad says. “We have an exceptional team of builders who all uphold our values, and we leverage on our experience and our great relationships to finish our projects more efficiently.” Throughout its builds, Elmm Projects maintains honest communication with its clients and the highest professional standards. “We actually specialise in client relationships. Our team is no stranger to hard work or to true accountability to our clients.” A recent project in Petone, Lower Hutt saw a 100-year-old boutique home brought into 2024. “We kept the character at the front with its sloping roof porch and decking, they went unchanged, but when you open the front door, we’ve completely taken the roof off and put in a chapel ceiling which required a lot of steelwork, we’ve opened up the living space and added skylights and beautiful feature timber underlay flooring. We’ve recycled some of the timber from inside and made bench seating around the fireplace. While the front of the house looks very similar to the original, at the back our clients have gone for a Japanese charred cedar cladding system. We think it’s a unique and stunning home.” Brad loves Petone for its multitude of 100-year-old homes and the beneficial effects of its recent gentrification which includes the preservation of historic architecture. “You can’t go wrong with an old house, they’ve got good bones, and they age really well,” he says. “I love being a part of the up-keep, going around Wellington and looking at these old homes and transforming them into warm, modern, clean homes of 2024 while keeping that original look.” J&M ELECTRICAL LTD Data | Audio and security installations Residential and Commercial Electrical work Proudly Supporting Elmm Projects Kevin Dickins 027 216 9433 jandmelectrical@gmail.com Specialising in Kitchens, Doors & Windows We are proud to support Elmm Projects 457 Jackson Street, Petone 04 569 8808 info@joineryp.co.nz www.joineryproductions.co.nz businesscentral Each edition priority delivered to your door. .
