In order to achieve the transformation, the house had be completely stripped back to the original block and steel. The cladding has been replaced with aluminium weatherboard and engineered laminate, which was installed by the BD Construction team. Long-run metal sheets replace the old roof. Inside, the home has polished concrete floors and high ceilings. Atrium windows flood the upper storey with light and warmth. Sustainable elements such as these were at the forefront of design. Back to those outdoor areas – you can enjoy the views in every weather and wind direction, thanks to louvre roofs and a stunning outdoor fireplace.
