Sleipner Street Renovation
2019 BDAQ Residential Alterations / Additions Award Winner – Houses over $1,500,000 This was a major renovation of a mountain-top dwelling with northerly rural and ocean views.

Local sandstone was used for retaining, flooring and wall cladding. Existing brickwork was kept or repaired and features extensively both internally and externally. Pre-finished timber cladding was matched to existing timber throughout. The final product is a very natural, earthy, low-maintenance home, nestled into its mountain landscape.
