A contemporary renovation of an 1884 Victorian cottage, achieving Passivhaus standards with modern interiors and restored heritage façade, completed in 2023 for the Sowden family.
Sowden Building Solutions proudly presents the Balmain EnerPHit project, commissioned by the Sowden family and completed in 2023 in contemporary style.
The project involved renovating an 1884 Victorian cottage to a Passivhaus standard, as well as adding a second storey to gain views of the city and bridge.
The interiors are modern, while the front of the house was restored to its original heritage look.
Wood fibre insulation, a heat recovery system, and solar PV ensure that the house is comfortable to live in, as well as cost-effective.
This renovation project is a testament to Sowden Building Solutions' expertise in Residential Extensions and Renovations.
