Having done first stage of this bungalow 15 years prior it was a pleasure to revisit, in the Milford beachfront domain it has been all too common to see buildings, of an older nature, demolished in lieu of the latest trend, it was great to work with skillful builders Coast & Country Ltd and passionate clients to expand a house they love by developing an upper storey master bedroom suite and extend a wing out towards the seaward end, retaining the integrity of the past.
