Family House

This freestanding Victorian home in Fitzroy North was stripped back to the original front four rooms, now the parent’s wing. A new light-filled extension to the rear with dramatic vaulted ceilings speaks to the scale and form of the original house while providing function and amenity to the family that now call this house their home. A spacious living zone with direct connections to the outdoors leads through to a suite of four bedrooms providing individual sanctuaries, equipped with mezzanine sleeping spaces, study areas and a bathroom. Architect: Karen Abernethy Architects Photography: Tom Ross There is something incredibly peaceful about living in a well designed, well made house. The eye is drawn to the detail - the perfect alignment, the smooth finish, the seamless function. The pride in their work is evident, and justifiably so. - Julie & Craig

“We engaged Weiss Builders for a challenging renovation in a heritage overlay. Their professionalism and care for the quality of their work was evident throughout, from tendering through the build itself and follow up as we settled back in. Managing the build was particularly challenging as we were overseas for much of the time, but their promptness and thoroughness of communication’s made the whole process easy. No problems were ever too big or too small for the team to handle. The finish of the renovation is wonderful and we are loving our improved home. If we ever decide to renovate again, Weiss Builders will be the first and last builder we will call!”
