This project involved preparing the architectural documentation required to relocate a prefabricated home onto a steep hillside site in Dunedin.

Working within the constraints of the existing site, the team then developed the plans required for building consent, ensuring the relocated dwelling was carefully positioned on its new foundations while responding to the site’s topography and structural requirements.

With large-scale crane operations, precise placement, and coordination between multiple trades, the project required careful planning to ensure the home was safely installed and ready for the next stage of construction.

The result is a modern home that makes the most of its elevated position while demonstrating the efficiency and sustainability that can be achieved through house relocation.
