This Essendon house has been fully restored with a spacious pavilion added to the rear. The extension has been encased in sliding timber panels, inspired by Japanese Amado screens, with a perforated mesh facade above. The screens sit forward of an impressive wall of glazing opening to a transition space that wraps around the house. All of these elements unite to allow for maximum control of light and ventilation throughout the space.

The space brings great flexibility in the variety of ways that opening glass and opening screens can work together to adapt to the unfolding weather. - Mezzanine Magaizine
Since our inception in 2004 Weiss Builders have developed a focus on architectural residential building. Committed to construction quality, we are dedicated to delivering homes of architectural vision and endurance.
Weiss Builders understand the effort needed to create a new home and believe that the construction phase should be a pleasurable part of this journey. Engaging in a consultative and transparent management style, and backed by an experienced administration and planning team, we employ advanced construction techniques to bring the architects vision to life.
On site we exercise environmentally responsible practices where possible to ensure unnecessary waste is avoided and that methods, systems and equipment used protect our water ways and air. We are experienced working in inner urban areas with difficult access that require well-resolved construction management planning.
On site challenges and changes are carefully managed using strong technical resolution skills. Weiss Builders aim to provide the best information possible for sound decision making and optimal outcomes. We can be involved early in project development to provide sketch estimates as well as assisting in the design and prototyping of special construction elements.
Weiss Builders take the time to thoroughly analyse your plans to gain an intimate understanding of your project. We are proficient in both competitive tenders and comprehensive open book costings.
As your new home settles comfortably on the ground, patina and gardens grow, and memories are made, remember that Weiss Builders knows your home and will always welcome ongoing connection.
