THEN & NOW

Out of the box

Constraints such as ‘time’ and ‘ankle surgery’ were mere molehills for Jen Hayes,
who completely overhauled her Auckland apartment in six months

Text by Debbie Harrison. Photography by Todd Eyre.

Snapshot

Who lives here? Jen Hayes, 25 (engineering
student and construction manager).
The project Most people complain that home
renovation is a long, drawn-out process, but
not Jen Hayes. She had her apartment reno
banged out in six months (including a break
for ankle surgery) and even that seemed like
a drag! Her high expectations make sense
when you know she works as a construction
manager heading up $200 million-plus
projects. But the game is very different when
it’s your own pad – and your own money.

Budget $45,000

MAKEOVER

How would you describe your style? I’m not sure if
there’s a name for my style. It’s a real mix of new and old
but everything is usable and comfortable – I don’t like
furniture that’s just for show; it feels like a waste.

AFTER

BEFORE BEFORE

PROS

+ Great location, 300m from
the Grey Lynn shops
+ Easy access to all motorways
+ Close to the CBD and a short
drive to cool suburbs including
Kingsland and Ponsonby
+ Good layout with lots of potential
for improvement

CONS

+ Dated and dark
+ In dire need of extra storage

Bathroom makeover

Being au fait with the construction world,
Jen had a good understanding of the order in
which everything should happen.
What did you do first? I figured that living
here while renovating would be messy so
I started with the messiest task: ripping out
my bathrooms. Once they were rebuilt (I did
one at a time so I could still shower) I looked
at the rest of the project.
Did anything slow down the process? There were
a few delays on the bathrooms due to custom-
made shower bases, needing consent, and the
Christmas/New Year break in the middle. I’ve
learned for next time!
How did you choose your tiles? The hexagonal
tiles I used in the showers are quite popular but
they’ve been around for ever so I didn’t think
they would date quickly.
Are those the same floor tiles in the bathrooms
and kitchen? Yes, I made the decision just a few
hours before flying to Sydney, so I bit the bullet
and fronted up the cash. But it was worth it.

yhg | 103

What did you learn from this renovation? Because
I work in the industry, I didn’t learn anything
technical, but I did learn that I need to switch off
mentally from projects – it felt like I was never
away from work because if I wasn’t managing
my large expansion project for my job, I was
managing my own one at home. I couldn’t relax.
I also struggled to separate the emotion from my
home renovation, even though I was trying to
treat it like a professional project. I enjoyed the
design element but should have handed it over
to my builder to manage the execution.

Financially, I had to live here or with my
parents (for free) while I did it. For my next
project, I have made the decision to rent and
complete it from afar – I’m in a better position
to do it that way now.

Style secrets

What’s your advice for making decor choices?

Keep your decisions practical at least half

the time – for example, rather than buying

a Moroccan pouf for a foot rest, I purchased one
of Tim Webber’s bigger poufs that are quite
solid on top so it works as both a footrest and
a coffee table of sorts. I also chose a straight
couch rather than an L-shape – I wanted
the ‘L’ but that won’t necessarily work in my
next house so I had to compromise and find
a suitable alternative.
What choice gave you the best value? Buying
all my furniture, fixings and equipment
(tiles, joinery, tapware, etc) upfront. Because
I purchased these all in one big transaction,
I managed to get a decent discount because
of the size of the sale.
Favourite room in the apartment? The lounge. It
felt so cold before and wasn’t a nice place to be,
but now it’s very warm and inviting. I splashed
out on some pretty cushions and throws from
Citta Design for the couch, which made it
a super-cosy hangout last winter, whether I was
reading a book, writing an essay or working
from home. Before, I used to just stay cuddled
up in bed on cold days!
What’s your top piece of design advice? Choose
a theme and stick to it. I used one type of
timber and my theme colours (black, pale
pink, white and army green) throughout, with
handles, throws, linen, towels and artwork in
those colours, too. •

When his clients first bought this cliff-edge
property a decade ago, Steve relished the idea
of creating a garden that combined his love of
Asian landscape traditions with New Zealand
native species. Both Steve and his clients
were happy to overlook the site’s gradient,
weeds and unkempt state given the property’s
stunning views of the Manukau Harbour and
its large stands of regenerating kauri and other
native trees. They knew it had the potential to
become a very special place indeed.

SITE The one-hectare property is situated Most of the semi-mature trees on the
land are kauri, along with many other large
in the Waitakere Ranges, on the edge of the natives including pohutukawa, kahikatea,

STANDOUT FEATURES While the

natural elements of this garden are undoubtedly
impressive, so too are the built structures that
connect its various components. Decks appear
to be suspended in mid-air over the tree canopy,
while timber boardwalks thread gently through
the foliage. Rather than build a conventional set
of stairs to connect the upper and lower floors of
the guest house, Steve constructed a series of
elegant hardwood platforms that appear to float
up the slope, just one of many poetic gestures
the designer has made to turn this bush-clad
site into a truly magical place for its owners.

Rock has been used for “I SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN SOUTHEAST ASIA AND HAVE BEEN
retaining walls and paths GREATLY INFLUENCED BY GARDENS I EXPERIENCED THERE”
to give solidity and
a naturalistic feel to the
landscaping. Touches
such as this carved stone
water feature reinforce
the garden’s Southeast
Asian influence.

PLANTING The designer was very much

led by the site’s existing native vegetation and
larger trees when it came to establishing any
new planting. Most of the planting is native
species, complemented by other subtropicals
that suit the site conditions such as palms, tree
ferns, bromeliads, gingers, orchids and clivia.

STYLE The owners’ vision for their garden

evolved gradually. Initially they just wanted the
property to look attractive and be well kept with
a few improvements along the way. However,
as it developed, the natural potential of the site
became more apparent, says Steve. “The aim
now is to create the ambience of a high-end
resort. I spent a lot of time in Southeast Asia
and have been greatly influenced by gardens
I experienced there. I’ve attempted to bring
a little of that style into this project to produce
a bit of a South Pacific and Asian mix.” •

PROBLEM Dear Carol
CAROL’S SOLUTION I’m in need of a designer to help me plan my
yard. We want more privacy and a way to hide
sheds and ugly fences, but also a fun space for
kids. We use a caravan as our fourth bedroom
and have just pulled down a fence that was
blocking it from the yard. We would love it to
be a permanent feature as we use it regularly
and want our guests to feel comfortable. Our
backyard and deck are north-facing with all-day
sun in summer, but during winter a large tree
does block some light. We are pretty sheltered
from the wind too.

I am a gardener (just starting as this is our
first home, but I love gardening) and my mum
is green-fingered too. I am more than happy to
maintain garden beds. My chef husband takes
care of vegetables at the far end of the garden.

Marni McGregor, Taupo
