Elaborate restoration of local homestead of significance

We were very fortunate to be involved in the restoration a homestead built in 1903 by William Nixon. Great emphasis was placed on retaining the original Art Nouveau/Arts and Crafts features with a new, functional layout.

It was paramount to find the balance between respecting and maintaining original elements with enhancing comfort and livability. The historical features we wanted to preserve included the original red brick, marble fireplaces, pressed tin ceilings, dado panelling, tessellated entrance tiles and grey slate roof.

We particularly adore the references to native flora and fauna, as shown in many soft furnishings. Furthermore, the traditional style landscaping enhances the homestead and completely finishes the project.

This project won the 2018 MBA Riverina Region ‘Over $1 million Alterations and Additions' Category
