Te Awanga Terraces II is a bespoke three-bedroom, two-bathroom family home crafted for modern coastal living. With its relaxed coastal vibe, thoughtful use of colour, and carefully chosen textures and finishes, this new build balances functionality with individuality—perfectly suited to its seaside setting.
Building a home for clients based partly in Auckland required seamless communication and trust. Many of the key design and build decisions were made remotely, which meant our systems needed to be crystal-clear and efficient to keep the project moving forward.
Adding to the challenge, the owners welcomed a new baby during the construction process. This required extra care in managing timelines and updates, ensuring the build progressed smoothly without overwhelming the family during such a busy season of life.
We prioritised proactive communication, using digital tools and structured updates to ensure the clients always felt informed and in control, even from a distance. Our team coordinated selections and finish choices in a way that gave the owners confidence while allowing their individuality to shine through in the final result.
By managing construction schedules tightly and coordinating subtrades with precision, we ensured the project stayed on track despite the added complexity of remote decision-making and the family’s changing circumstances.
The completed Te Awanga Terraces II home is a reflection of both place and personality. Its coastal-inspired aesthetic pairs beautifully with warm textures, layered finishes, and carefully curated colours that bring individuality to every space.
The clients now enjoy a light-filled, relaxed family home that is both practical for everyday living and special in its design detail. Delivered with care and clear communication, this home is a true example of how Drinkrow Homes brings visions to life—no matter where clients are located during the build.
