Earlier this year CWB Construction completed a 773m2 unique home in Coatesville. This home was hand drawn and designed by the owner with final details and drawings completed by Trevor Pyle, of Masterplan Architectural.

The project started late 2016 from the ground up.  Constructed of concrete timber and steel, approximately forty thousand bricks were imported from Belgium to clad the exterior and 10 metre high chimneys. Recycled bricks purchased here were used throughout the interior which makes you believe the home has been here for over 100 years.

The home also features clay roof tiles imported from Germany while the timber joinery and copper roofs complete the exterior. The solid concrete sills beneath all the windows were formed in situ and the concrete mixed by hand.

There were many challenging aspects some that have not been used in construction for decades.

Even the timber suppliers were hesitant at first to pre cut all the rafters required off the plans for such a big job. No trusses were used in this project and every rafter was fitted neatly to form all the hips and valleys.

The interior is filled with recycled Oregon beams, exposed timber collar ties, macrocarpa sarking, French Oak architraves and skirting boards and Jarrah flooring throughout.

This home is truly one of a kind.
