Contemporary Studio Build

New build project in Pukerua Bay

This contemporary studio home in Pukerua Bay was designed by ETAL Architects and built by Build 2.0, combining architectural flair with practical functionality. Set on a bare site overlooking the Kāpiti Coast, the project marks the first stage of a two-phase development, with plans for a larger family home to follow. This project reflects Build 2.0’s expertise in creating stylish, future-proof spaces tailored to each client’s vision.

Wellington Construction

Build 2.0 became involved in this project right from the start, supporting the client immediately after she purchased a section in Pukerua Bay on the Kāpiti Coast. From the outset, she wanted something with architectural flair, so Build 2.0 introduced her to Hamish from ETAL Architecture, a collaboration that ensured the design phase was both creative and carefully managed.

Stage one of the project was to build a striking, functional two bedroom studio home with plans to construct a larger family home at the front at a later date. Once complete, the studio will be rented out and become a second income stream, offering the owner flexibility and long-term value.

The finished studio is a beautiful balance of practicality and style, featuring black Peter Fell salt and pepper polished concrete floors, warm ply ceilings and an open-plan living space that flows seamlessly onto a sun-drenched deck. Every detail was designed to maximise light, comfort and lifestyle while laying the foundation for the future family home.

As an NZCB-approved builder, Build 2.0 clients are eligible to apply for the Halo 10-Year Residential Guarantee — one of New Zealand’s most comprehensive building guarantees, providing much greater protection than both the Building Act and Consumer Guarantees Act. It protects your investment from the moment you sign your building contract and gives you long-term confidence in the quality and durability of your home. Regardless of what happens in the future, your Halo Guarantee will be there to protect your housing investment and help you for the next 10 years following completion of your build – it’s peace of mind, guaranteed.

You’re covered for:

• Loss of deposit

• Non-completion, including remedial work

• Materials and workmanship for two years after building work is complete

• Structural defects for the next eight years from Guarantee Acceptance, including rot and fungal decay (weathertightness)

• Up to 26 weeks alternative accommodation expenses while the house is being repaired

• Automatically transferable when the home is sold, giving any new owners protection too

Please ask us for the Halo 10-Year Residential Guarantee Homeowner Handbook for full details of guarantee coverage, exclusions and additional benefits. All Halo applications must be submitted before building work starts.

Let’s build something great together.
