Heritage - Extension and Restoration
Traditional House Exterior, Sydney
This Californian Bungalow was almost beyond repair when the client approached me. A colleague from DirectBuild Australia met with me onsite to determine if this piece of history could be salvaged? There was extensive damage to the rear of the building, however, despite the state it was in we came to the conclusion "it looked worse then what it actually was".
The design process had taken about 8 weeks. In that time, we found ways to remove or restore alot of the damaged rooms and components. We worked on a theme of old + new.
A big credit must go to the client/owner who agreed to build and restore the house. He received assistance through an owner building coaching service, DirectBuild Australia.
