Embracing the corner of Owens Road and Gillies Ave, the captivating architectural design pays homage to Epsom’s heritage and unique landscape.

The buildings’ distinctive red brick and surrounding volcanic rock walls complement and elevate this iconic and sought after neighbourhood, with each home a quiet retreat and haven of privacy for its fortunate residents.

Form meets function within the spacious and well lit interior spaces, with a curated palette of natural hued finishes and quality appliances enhancing the luxurious living environments.

The elegant boutique development is divided into two distinct typologies across five blocks. These have been thoughtfully designed to cater for different lifestyles and provide a safe and secure community within. Type A’s three-level floor plans incorporate four bedrooms, three bathrooms, spacious living area and an internal garage. These proportions make the ideal home for small families with young children who wish to capitalise on the areas exceptional school zones. Type B are two-level, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. An enticing investment in this incredibly well connected area. 

The ground floor features a modern kitchen equipped with quality BOSCH cooktop, oven and dishwasher. The spacious area opens onto a wooden deck, perfect for outdoor entertaining. The low maintenance garden ensures residents can enjoy the outdoors without the hassle. Upstairs you’ll discover generously sized bedrooms, including master bedroom with an ensuite, providing comfort and privacy for the whole family.

Constructing Owens Lane…

After the demolition and removal of existing structures, and the levelling of site; BCG team concentrate on the subdivision of lots, undertaking all civil and earthworks, service connections, laying impermeable concrete footpath and driveway, permeable paving of pedestrian areas, foundations and framing. The emergence of structures took place as exterior construction materials and internal framework materials were applied to the site.

James Hardie Linea Oblique Horizontal Weatherboard, vertical cedar shiplap, brick veneer, Colorcote Magnaflow roofing, Colorcote cladding, aluminium joinery complementary in colour to roofing materials, GARADOR flat panel sectional garage door, vertical timber paling fence, tinted windows, doors, pine deck and balcony glass balustrade, Velux fixed skylight.

At the same time, plumbing and electrical installed, fitout of the interior is taking shape and form using a raft of preselected materials. Himalayan ADEN Charcoal carpet, Belgoext garage carpet, timber flooring, Kiel Bianco tiles, Travertino splashback (horizontal pattern), neutral paint finish, brushed nickel hardware, melteca and melamine cabinetry, caesarstone benchtop, BOSCH kitchen appliances.

The selection of external materials was based on their quality, aiming to integrate seamlessly with the surrounding volcanic rock walls. This enhances the development’s standing by utilising materials that harmonise with the environment, such as the distinctive red brick. The installation and refinement of interior materials resonate with a sense of quality and luxury.

Redevelopment of site to provide for the construction of 2 new standalone dwellings and the subsequent two lot fee simple subdivision around the new dwellings.

The application for the redevelopment of the site situated at Aldersgate Road involved the removal of the current building and the erection of two new residential units. To gain a thorough understanding of the project, BCG CONSTRUCTION conducted preliminary site inspections and observed that the site had an irregular shape with a slope from north to south (or back to front). Additionally, there is a double storey dwelling situated central on the property, slated for demolition.

Sighting the positioning of the two new standalone dwellings, Unit 1 is facing towards the north western corner of the site with Unit 2 located within the south eastern section. Both dwellings are 2-storey with a double garage. Outward appearance achieved through variation of materials and architectural features, including the mixture of horizontal cladding, vertical sections and window sizes. Modulation achieved through variation of the roof forms and setbacks. The homes have multiple glazing areas, private outdoor living spaces and an outlook space provided from habitable rooms, ensuring passive surveillance and visual interest. The grounds are well landscaped around each of the new dwellings with high quality planting of various species and sizes. Furthermore, all service bins are located out of sight, ensuring that the development looks tidy from the surrounding environment.

The ground floor of both dwellings similar in layout. Unit 1 consists of a large open plan kitchen with a walk-in pantry, living and dining area, 3-bedrooms with one containing an ensuite and a family bathroom. Unit 2 has an open plan living and dining area with a linked kitchen, as well as 2-bedrooms, one of which has an ensuite and a family bathroom. Both dwellings have a deck on the first floor at ground level height due to the site typography. The homes have been clad with a mixture of vertical and horizontal cladding in a varying colour scheme to provide high amenity.

Earthworks involved a total area of 452m2, with a cut and fill volume of 128m3 and 47m3 respectively. Also to create the building platforms, outdoor areas, and the shared driveway. Cut retaining walls along the western boundary, adjacent to the accessway. Connections to three waters and network utilities accordingly, stormwater extension from existing stormwater manhole in the shared accessway to service the development such that each Lot has a new connection.

The Aldersgate redevelopment project highlights superb design and construction, resulting in the establishment of two new residences which ensure that both neighbourhood and streetscape character and amenity is maintained.

Connected by a concrete spine wall, these modern architecturally designed units are ready to rock in Auckland.

The two main box volumes of each home interconnect to create a superb split-level layout. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms promise ease and convenience. Each dwelling mirrors the other. Open-plan living awaits at ground level. Polished concrete is smooth underfoot. Well-selected fixtures and finishes offer modern flair. The kitchen and scullery are designed for entertaining. A glass slider fosters flow to the alfresco patio and large lawn. Heading back into the heart of the home, a feature staircase basks in light from a central gallery. This opens to a private deck that’s sheltered from the elements on three sides. It also serves one of the bedrooms. The second and master bedrooms boast their own private decks with views. The chic master ensuite is a spacious retreat with large grey floor tiles. A wall of intricate white tiles creates a textural backdrop to the bathing area with its open shower and luxurious stand-alone bathtub.

When our client approached us, he was ready for a fresh start. His previous experience with an architect had left him frustrated – costs had spiralled, communication was lacking, and the designs did not reflect his vision. With a tight urban site in West Auckland and a bold brief in hand, he needed a team that could not only deliver three standalone homes but also navigate the site’s many complexities. Our role began with refining the designs for Lots 2 and 3, while Lot 1 required a complete rethink.

The site itself presented numerous challenges. It opened narrowly to the street before widening toward the rear, and it climbed on a steep 1:8 gradient. To complicate matters, an established street tree needed preserving, and our client wanted House 1 to present strongly to the street – with both the garage and main entry clearly visible from the road. All of this constrained the buildable footprint and outdoor space. Despite these limitations, client’s brief called for three spacious homes, each with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a double garage. Achieving this within a 580m² site demanded clever, precise design and spatial ingenuity.

We elevated the main living areas to the first floor to capture ocean views to the east and generate a greater sense of space. Soaring pitched ceilings, generous skylights, and wide balcony openings were introduced to enhance light and airiness. Though compact in area, the homes feel bright, open, and connected to their surroundings.

Externally, we addressed site constraints with innovative solutions. Houses 1 and 2 incorporated internal concrete retaining walls, removing the need for external fences or retaining structures and preserving the narrow 1.5 metre access strip between Houses 2 and 3. This approach unlocked valuable outdoor areas and improved flow across the development. The homes were treated as individual standalone dwellings to maximise market value, with the client opting for crisp white cladding to enhance natural light and create a fresh, inviting streetscape.

Construction, however, brought its own challenges. Client remained actively involved, regularly suggesting design changes – many of which were introduced during the build phase. These included revisions to handrail connections on balconies, junctions between the barge and external walls, internal staircase transitions, and the kitchen layout. Several driveway modifications were also made, with adjusted slopes and varying concrete finishes to suit both function and form.

The construction team was committed to delivering to a high standard. The pursuit of perfection meant careful coordination on site, particularly for one-of-a-kind detailing that needed accurate interpretation and execution. With the client’s hands-on approach, we had to be adaptable, ensuring every new request was aligned with the overall design vision without compromising progress.

One notable client request was the preservation of a mature grapefruit tree at the rear of House 3. Rather than remove it, we built the rear deck around it – a gesture that reflected the spirit of collaboration that defined the project.

Despite design revisions and a tight timeframe, the homes were delivered within budget. The result is a compact development of three distinct homes that feel anything but constrained. This project is a testament to the power of clear communication, creative problem-solving, and the commitment of a team working toward a shared vision. From reimagining Lot 1 to managing client-driven changes during construction, every decision was made with care, precision, and a deep respect for the site and the client’s aspirations.

Walmer Terraces in Pt Chevalier is a masterclass in construction precision and interior elegance. What was once a single dwelling has given way to five meticulously crafted townhouses, each a testament to contemporary design and structural integrity. From the ground up, every aspect of the build was executed with an unwavering commitment to quality, ensuring that these homes not only exude sophistication but also stand the test of time.

The project began with the demolition of the existing home, making way for extensive earthworks to create a stable foundation. In an urban setting like Pt Chevalier, effective drainage and levelled ground are crucial, and BCG Construction meticulously prepared the site. Every phase of construction was marked by exactitude – from the precise alignment of corners and angles to the flawless execution of brickwork, steel panelling, and roofing. The ridges of the roofing met with architectural accuracy, ensuring a seamless visual and structural flow. Custom stairwells were measured and installed with exact precision, elevating the interior’s timeless appeal while maintaining a contemporary edge.

The material selection played a crucial role in achieving the understated elegance that defines Walmer Terraces. A carefully curated combination of La Paloma range bricks, James Hardie cladding, and Alaskan Yellow Cedar vertical shiplap created a façade that balances durability with aesthetic harmony. Roofing, gutters, flashings, fascia, and downpipes were all colour-matched in a deep, cohesive shade to complement the minimalist yet striking design. The aluminium fin balustrades and timber screens, along with vertically grooved panels, reinforced the sleek, modern identity of the development while maintaining visual warmth. Every detail, from the stepped driveway fencing to the native landscaping, was masterfully integrated to enhance both function and form.

Inside, the design seamlessly continues the exterior’s theme of quiet luxury. The interior palette is a study in balance – Dulux white walls and ceilings contrast against the warmth of European Oak timber flooring, its lacquer finish reflecting sunlight at different angles to create a dynamic, ever-changing atmosphere. The bathrooms make a bold statement with darker-toned vanities set against neutral-toned tiles, ensuring a refined yet contemporary aesthetic. Plush, hard-wearing carpet in the bedrooms provides a soft underfoot experience, enhancing comfort without compromising on durability.

One of the most ingenious design strokes is the integration of the kitchen island with a timber dining table, a solution that optimises space without encroaching into the living area. This functional yet stylish approach to space planning is echoed in the vertical splashback tiles that extend seamlessly to meet the kitchen island, creating a sense of continuity and cohesion. Stylish lighting, flush cabinetry, and modern appliances elevate the interiors, while gold accents throughout add a touch of sophistication.

Beyond aesthetics, the structural details of the build are a testament to craftsmanship. Every panel, from ceilings to walls to floors, aligns with absolute precision. The invisible internal guttering is seamlessly hidden behind balustrades, ensuring a clean, uninterrupted façade. Deck panels hug the brickwork with an almost imperceptible accuracy, and custom flashings at varying depths are meticulously fitted. Even the bolts, framing, and door alignments were executed with a level of exactness that underscores the build’s superior quality.

Functionality remains at the forefront, with internal garaging seamlessly incorporated within the square footage. Carparks have been strategically positioned to maximise space efficiency without compromising the flow of the development. The integration of natural materials and neutral hues results in a timeless yet modern feel.

The entire development is a testament to our commitment to excellence in construction, blending technical precision with creative design to produce homes that are as functional as they are beautiful. Walmer Terraces is more than a residential project – it is a carefully orchestrated micro-community, strategically located in one of Pt Chevalier’s most desirable areas, where ease of access to amenities, public transport, and local cafes enhances the overall living experience. The result is a series of townhouses that set a new standard for modern, sustainable living, where every detail is a reflection of our passion for construction excellence.
