Portsea
This prime position early 1900’s Portsea seaside property was left to rundown. Our brief was to masterfully restore and renovate this residence. Everything was done to breath new life into this property including adding a matching outbuilding and garage.
A new roof, tailored landscaping and custom moulded bricks were made by hand to recreate in detail the additional outbuilding, to a level where it looked identical to the existing structure. A mould was made and we poured all of our own matching bricks because you could not purchase them anymore. This level of care and detail ensured you could not tell that the new outbuilding was actually brand new which protected the timelessness of the property.
Many other materials simply didn’t exist for this home. More elements such as replicating the exact roof and pitch of the outbuilding were hand made for authenticity. A full internal restoration elegantly finished, external floorboards and a beautifully hung counter lever balcony elevated this property to a new level aesthetically and financially.
