They had a clear understanding of what was going to be done from the start.” Daryl estimated eight months for the project, and the renovation was completed in just seven and a half months in May this year.
Tania and Dominic are very happy with the renovation. “We wanted a high spec elegant home, and this more than lives up to what we wanted. It’s even better than we could have imagined,” says Tania, who especially loves the beautiful kitchen and the cedar fins. Dominic also favours the kitchen and likes the flexibility of the two living areas. “We enjoy the city views at night with the fireplace and kitchen LEDs for light,” says Dominic. “It’s the perfect place to relax.”

The dream of relaxed, hillside lifestyle led to this outstanding transformation in Cashmere from an unassuming 1990’s plaster home to this sleek cedar-clad renovation. Working with Daryl & Tara Hewitt was a great experience,” says Dominic. “They really took the project to heart. They wanted the home to be the best it could be. Just like it was their own home.” The couple rented a house in the city during the renovation and only visited the site every few weeks. “Daryl was always available for those site visits,” says Dominic. “Daryl’s team took the stress out of building. Everything was transparent, from minor tweaks and decisions through to spending.
