Art Deco Renovation, Westmere

This Art Deco home was given a lift in more ways
than one.
The project began with a full basement dig-out, with an additional storey added underground (adding rumpus, garage, laundry and bathroom) as well as a new storey on top of the existing mid-floor (for a master bedroom and en suite).
Being below the water table made management challenging, but with careful planning (and shrink-wrapping) the client even managed to live on-site.
Beautiful interiors were crafted by Katie Lockhart Studio, and bespoke cabinetry by David White.
"HD Building takes it personally. That’s the long and short of it.
Big renovations have their stress points, and ours was no exception. Henry and his team were immaculate every day.
They did a stunning job."
— Jill Brinsdon
