Welcome to 'Project 292'.
This is a two storey, late 60's weatherboard building with two one-bedroom flats that is looking a bit worse for wear. Brought 3 years ago, my Architect father and I had plans to improve this property from the day of purchase. However, delays with Resource Consent, finishing the Building Consent, our own daily Architecture and Interior Design careers and other life's distractions got in the way. Now it is time to get this baby on the road.
First sign of change is the huge Macrocarpa trees at the back. Next week they're getting the chop. I'll let you know how it goes. Til then...
