Challenge
With a renovation already in mind, our client’s home was one of many victims of the extensive hailstorms in early 2020, leaving this charming 1900’s double-fronted Edwardian home with substantial water damage. We were tasked with restoring its exceptional heritage features and bringing it back to life despite sagging ceilings, sinking walls, and deterioration to internal walls and structures.
Aside from the damage, our client for this project also wanted to add a fresh, contemporary upgrade to the home while taking the utmost care to maintain its unique heritage charm. We also had to contend with supporting the upper floor using a temporary steel structure while we demolished the house below as well as accessing the home through just one vantage point. This was through the carport and garage to get to the rear of the site, particularly with the new pool and spa to be built.
