92 | A special talent for renovating BTP also takes full charge of project management, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience for clients. BTP Construction T T Aimee Wilson BUILDING One of the key strengths of Queenstown-based BTP Construction lies in its ability to tie together the old and the new – whether it’s a renovation or addition, they make sure the final result is seamless, with every detail thoughtfully considered to ensure a cohesive vision. Specialising in high-end renovations and additions, with many beautiful residential renovations in the Wakatipu showing its keen eye for design and meticulous attention to detail, the company’s expertise also extends to commercial projects, from shop fit-outs to earthquake strengthening and restaurant projects. BTP also takes full charge of project management, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience for clients. Working closely with everyone involved, the team is dedicated to turning the client’s vision into reality. At the helm of BTP Construction is director Newell Hodgson, whose extensive background in building and management makes him well-equipped to lead projects to success. As a licensed building practitioner and Registered Master Builder, Newell brings over 30 years of experience to every job. His passion for construction is evident in the way he treats each project as his own, especially when it comes to renovations. Newell’s talent lies in ensuring that renovations blend harmoniously with their surroundings, making the new and old look as if they were always meant to coexist. Every detail, no matter how small, is thoughtfully crafted to complement the overall vision. “There is a resurgence on Queenstown Hill at the moment, where some of the properties are starting to get old, and we’re doing a lot of work remodelling them,” Newell says. A standout project in BTP’s portfolio is the Belfast Terrace apartment renovation, which harmonises beautifully with the natural surroundings, drawing inspiration from the local vernacular materials and timeless beauty of the region. Every element – from the choice of hues and textures to the clever use of space – was designed with the landscape in mind. The apartment takes full advantage of its location near Lake Wakatipu and The Remarkables mountain range, with light and views playing a central role in the design. The owners of the Belfast Terrace apartment shared their thoughts on the transformation: “The renovation of our Queenstown apartment is a true reflection of our vision for comfort, luxury, and elegance, whether it’s just my husband and I enjoying the space or sharing it with family and friends. We wanted to incorporate the stunning natural landscape into our home, and the use of schist stone echoes the rugged beauty of the surrounding mountains. “Natural woods add warmth, while steel features bring a modern, industrial touch. The thoughtful design elements come together to create a sophisticated, inviting space that is incredibly hard to leave.” The final product is a blend of comfort, luxury, and the essence of Queenstown living. The high-end finishes, attention to detail, and seamless integration of modern and natural elements have made the apartment a perfect retreat – truly a home away from home. Newell has entered this build into the Registered Master Builders House of the Year competition, and is now working on a stunning new restaurant in central Arrowtown, opening in May. m y e l e c t r i c i a n Myell Smith - registered electrician phone 021 857 267 Taking care of all your plumbing, drainage &heating needs in theSouthernLakes!
