Suburb: Grey Lynn, Auckland
Architect: Eric Abba
Build type: Commercial-to-residential full renovation
This striking Grey Lynn loft-style apartment was originally a commercial space, reimagined as a contemporary family home. The design celebrates its industrial roots with raw, authentic materials, exposed steel beams, high ceilings, and expansive windows that fill the open-plan layout with natural light.
Polished concrete floors provide a sleek foundation, while carefully selected finishes bring warmth and comfort to balance the industrial aesthetic. The spacious kitchen, dining, and living areas flow seamlessly, creating a home that accommodates both intimate family life and larger entertaining.
The apartment features four generous bedrooms and multiple living zones, offering ample space for work, play, and relaxation. Thoughtful design ensures that despite its industrial character, the home remains practical and inviting for everyday family living.
“Lewis Build did a total renovation, turning an old warehouse into our residence. The workmanship, communication and finish were all excellent. A great team!”
— Janice, Grey Lynn
Outcome: A full commercial-to-residential transformation that blends loft-style sophistication with family functionality, highlighting Lewis Build’s expertise in complex adaptive renovations.
