The House of The Long Dog - A Coromandel Church Conversion.

This residence is a former Methodist Church in Coromandel town, now reborn as a 3 bedroom home away from the city.

With careful consideration for its NZ Historic Places Category 2 status, the design maintained original internal linings and respected existing window placements.

All the building work was done by the owners in their spare time! They have done an amazing job at executing the furnishings and finishes.

This is also for rent as a holiday home, be sure to follow along at

The end of this year has been a bit of a blur, which is good and bad haha. In November for our work do we were lucky enough to be the first ones to stay at - a recently converted heritage church in Coromandel Town that we were involved in - project photos to come.

While in the area we visited and did the bush train ride which is a must do experience! We also hunted out the “Piccolo” designed by , this was an inspirational driver behind our
