Built in 1914, this federation house and garden are listed as items of heritage significance both locally and at state level. The house was built as a dental surgery and residence for the current owner's grandfather. The renovations were designed and carried out sympathetically to respect the original style and heritage fabric while bringing the house up to today's standards. Work included a new living space at the rear to embrace the garden and aspect, upgraded wet areas, a new study within the original dentist's surgery, general upkeep and a new garage. The garden was also extensively reworked with plants and elements true to the original era of the place. Completed 100 years after it was originally built for the granddaughter of the original owner made this project a very special one to work on.

“It seemed to be that every time we came across a house renovation we particularly admired, it had been designed by Castlepeake. When it was time for us to renovate, we had no hesitation in getting them involved. They understood our brief and developed innovative floor plans that increased light penetration whilst keeping within the building footprint. Castlepeake were also happy for us (first time renovators) to be a part of the design process and bring our personalities into the build. Our century old Californian bungalow received a well-deserved makeover with the perfect blend of modern and old. The team at Castlepeake assisted every step of the way from concept, detailed design phase to construction and completion.”
