Grand affair
An expansive residence has been transformed into a national
award winner by Glover Homes and a stable of
experienced artisans and suppliers
Above: This project by Glover
Homes took the National winner
– Supreme Renovation, Supreme
Award, Category winner, Gold
Award and Reserve Gold Award at
the Auckland 2015 Master Builders
Awards, in the Renovation category.
The comprehensive renovation
was designed by Sumich Chaplin
architects.

Sometimes a clever renovation is preferable
to brand new. This massive home project took
out National Winner – Supreme Renovation – in
the Renovations over $500,000 category at the
Registered Master Builders Award.
Glover Homes is a niche building company
specialising in high-end properties in the wider
Auckland area. The company is involved from
the foundations through to finishing works.
The multi award-winning renovation shown
here was really more like a new build with only
a few existing strategic walls retained, says firm
owner and general manager JD Glover.

“The original four-bedroom house has been
reinvented as a luxury split-level family home
with six generous bedrooms and spectacular
open-plan living spaces that open to sheltered
outdoor areas. There is now a large office, a
games room, media room, and a new pool complex, pool and tennis court. An ancillary building
has also been built by Glover Homes and there
has been extensive landscaping on the property.
“The project took two years to complete and
is a testament to all parties involved, not least
the owners who were kept informed and part
of the decision process from beginning to end.”
