Campbell St Renovation

1906 Workingman’s cottage renovation A cute little house that we purchased and renovated totally to become a heritage rental property. Virtually staged by ourselves as another service that we offer. Welcome to Simone van der Plas Interior Design & Architectural Concepts PDINZ – where heritage meets modernity in our transformative approach to small villa renovations. As both a designer and property investor, our passion for breathing new life into charming heritage houses is evident in our latest project – a 1906 workingman's cottage that underwent a top-to-toe renovation, complete with innovative virtual staging. Key Highlights of the Small Villa Renovation: Heritage Charm Preserved: Purchasing a 1906 workingman's cottage, our vision was to restore its former glory while ensuring it met modern construction regulations. The house, though rich in history, had issues such as dangerous electrical cabling and uninsurable scrim wall coverings. Our renovation focused on preserving its charming heritage features while addressing these concerns. Comprehensive Renovation: We embarked on a comprehensive renovation journey, leaving no corner untouched. From a new kitchen and bathroom to fresh carpet, color schemes, new wall linings, and insulation – every detail was meticulously curated to blend seamlessly with the house's 1906 character. Virtual Staging Innovation: To ready the house for the market, we embraced an innovative virtual staging approach. Recognizing the limitations posed by uninsurable aspects, we opted for CGI furniture insertion into images captured by Simone. This avant-garde technique allowed for a quick turnaround without the need for expensive traditional homestaging, ensuring the property was market-ready. Preserving 1906 Features: While modernizing the cottage, our approach prioritized the retention of its unique 1906 features. From original architectural elements to the quaint details that make the house special, every effort was made to celebrate and showcase its historical charm.

Whether it's a top-to-toe renovation or an innovative approach like virtual staging, our commitment is to deliver results that marry design excellence with pragmatic investment goals.
