The Brief

What the owners needed.

The clients wanted to modernise their existing character home, creating more functional living spaces while retaining its distinctive architectural style.

The renovation focused on improving the internal layout, enhancing the kitchen and living areas, and incorporating new outdoor entertaining and parking spaces.

What We Did

The work, start to finish.

  • Undertook extensive renovations to the existing home
  • Made structural modifications to accommodate a reconfigured internal layout
  • Altered the kitchen and living areas
  • Built a new outdoor entertaining deck
  • Added a carport
  • Installed new roofing, structural supports and retaining walls
The Challenge

What made this one tricky.

Working within an existing sandstone-clad home required careful planning and structural modifications to accommodate the new layout. Existing load-bearing elements needed to be altered and supported, allowing the new spaces to be created while maintaining the structural integrity and character of the original residence.
