The owners of this 60s weatherboard and fibro rural cottage needed a lot more room for their growing family, but loved the location. They decided to embark on an extensive renovation, turning the home into a large, modern show home that is still family friendly.

The first challenge was the safe removal of all asbestos, handled by Brazier, and the relevant certification. The existing home was then propped up and underpinned for excavation of the sloping block and the addition of a large basement area.

The new design features curved walls and ceilings and high end finishes, all of which required a high level of precision and craftsmanship. The new basement area forms a stunning open plan living area, featuring soaring windows and architectural lighting throughout. The original home now forms the second storey with two bedrooms family bathroom, master suite and office. The home also features a two car garage, store and artist’s studio.

This home also sits within a high Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) zone meaning that materials used throughout had to be rated accordingly. At Brazier Building Developments we are able to advise you on these restrictions.
