In a secluded position overlooking Pegasus Bay, sits Dennise and Tom’s cherished 20-year-old family home, expertly updated by DJ Hewitt Builders. The couple also approached Johnston Architects for some guidance as to what they might change to modernise the house. They were impressed by the level of finish and attention to detail in builder DJ Hewitt’s own home, so asked Daryl Hewitt and his wife Tara, an interior designer, to manage the build.

Dennise and Tom wanted to improve their usable outdoor space, making the most of the views while giving them and their neighbours some privacy. They wanted to make the kitchen the focal point of the living area, let more light in and reconfigure the house to suit them.

The couple was in constant communication with the builder, Daryl, and his team, and they were always available to work through minor issues that were sorted quickly. Dennise says, “We came to rely on their years’ of experience to get the most out of the renovation, and we are sure that they took as much pleasure out of the outcome as we did.” Using DJ Hewitt meant they not only got the building and management expertise of Daryl and his team, but they also got the benefit of Tara’s skills in interior design.
