Doherty House
A full renovation with renewed light, flow, and function
Doherty House is a complete renovation of an existing home, redesigned to bring in more natural light, improve flow, and modernise both form and function. The transformation focused on reworking the layout to better suit contemporary living, while introducing a calm, refined aesthetic throughout.
Thoughtfully chosen materials, updated spatial connections, and enhanced indoor-outdoor links give the home a fresh, welcoming feel. With every detail considered — from room orientation to finishes — this renovation delivers a home that feels brand new, while still grounded in its original setting.
Before Renovation









Project Reflection
“We engaged with David Todd for major renovation work on our hill site in Tahunanui. We were immediately taken with David's calm nature as he listened, guided and planned with us. At days end we dealt with a professional, easy to get on with person, equipped with all the knowledge his field requires, leaving us with a superb, modern, functional home with a superb layout. We can recommend David Todd without reservation.”
