Expanding a Holiday Home for Practical Storage

The Challenge/Scope

A couple needed to extend their bach at Lake Brunner to create more space and ensure their boat was stored safely indoors, protected from the harsh West Coast weather. They also wanted a room above the boat garage, all designed to simplify the process of securing their boat after lake trips.

Efficient Coordination in a Remote Location

Managing remote builds with precise planning

Out-of-town construction posed logistical challenges, particularly coordinating material deliveries from Christchurch. Careful planning ensured smooth operations despite delays.


Weather delays required flexibility and rescheduling

Unpredictable weather required constant adjustments to the schedule, with replanning and rescheduling to keep the project on track.


Clear communication between contractors and suppliers

Tight coordination between suppliers, subcontractors, and clients was essential to minimise downtime and ensure everyone was on the same page.


Ensuring waterproofing between new and old structures

A lot of attention went into waterproofing the junction between the old house and the extension to protect the home from the rugged coastal weather.


Bringing in a skilled team of contractors

A team of builders, electricians, plasterers, and cladders worked together over six months to complete the extension, ensuring high-quality workmanship throughout.



Our Approach

Seamless, Functional, and Aesthetically Pleasing Extension

The extension blended seamlessly with the original property, creating a cohesive design that enhanced the home’s appearance without obstructing the neighbours' views. The client’s discerning preferences were met with careful craftsmanship, and the project successfully provided the additional space needed for secure boat storage and a functional living area above.

Notable Results

The client chose Statement Homes for their expertise in creating a seamless, functional extension that protected their boat and enhanced the layout of their holiday home.
