This residential project was a unique architectural puzzle from the start. We were tasked with completing a renovation that was already partially underway, featuring a lounge and portico extension started by a previous builder. The home itself was a fascinating blend of three distinct structures—including an original schoolhouse—each bringing its own history and "quirky" architectural lines. Our job was to unify these spaces into a cohesive, high-end family home that honoured its character while providing modern functionality.
Renovating older, multi-structure buildings often reveals secrets once the demolition begins. In this case, we discovered extensive floor deterioration that required an immediate pivot to replace most of the flooring before the main build could proceed. Managing this unexpected scope was critical, as our client was living on-site in a portable cabin, making the project timeline non-negotiable. Furthermore, we had to step into a partially completed council consent process, ensuring that the unique ceiling lines and structural joins met modern standards without losing the home's soul.
Through a highly collaborative and pragmatic relationship with our client, we successfully navigated every "behind-the-wall" surprise to deliver a stunning result on time. The project achieved full council compliance and features:
The finished product is a testament to our client’s vision, and we couldn't be more excited to hand over this "beauty" of a home.
The Renovation Company team was outstanding from the first contact! Eddie and Debbie took the time to really listen to my vision for our renovation, asked loads of questions, and made relevant suggestions to ensure they got it right. The build team were outstanding - professional, diligent, hard-working and honest. The project was BIG - but they helped keep to the budget at every stage. The project was well-managed, with consistent communication. Nothing was ever too much trouble. The outcome - an exception home that has the "WOW" factor throughout. I couldn't be more grateful, or thrilled. I would 100% recommend The Renovation Company for any building & renovation jobs.
