Architect – Boyd Chamberlain Architecture
Build time – 10 months
This hillside house was split level cut and had various foundation designs due to the complex nature of the section and the site. A 2-storey dwelling consisting of 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, games room and spacious interconnected kitchen, living and dining. Being on a hill, this project required 2 and half months of groundwork, foundations and retaining walls to get out of the ground and have frames up. This house was a mixture of cedar and Hebel panel plastering as its cladding to match the tray roofing. With clever design from Boyd Chamberlain Architecture this is a striking house and one that we are proud to have had the pleasure of building.
The team here at John Garlick Builders are a diverse, multi-talented building family. As such we understand the unique challenges of the area and welcome the opportunity to assist with your building project, whether it be a new architectural hill home, residential dwelling or renovations and extensions.
As a close-knit team we are happy to mention that most of our new apprentices learn from the best here at John Garlick Builders, and qualify in their own right as licensed building practitioners before heading off on their various overseas experiences, only to return to continue on as part of the John Garlick Builders team. As such we have an ever-expanding team that is a lot more like a diverse family than a group of associated co-workers.
We’re proud of our team here at John Garlick Builders. We are able to manage multiple projects on multiple sites at any one time. One thing that we hear often from our customers is “I wish I’d come to you first!”, which usually means before they purchased their section, before they visited an architect, and before the building began! It is for this reason we encourage you to contact us, even if you are just thinking about building. We have the experience in all aspects of building planning, design and construction to give the right advice first time.
