The pavilion at the rear of this Edwardian home facing north allows the main living and kitchen areas to take advantage of the ample northern light. The black cork covered slab provides a generous thermal mass. Large timber section windows and door frames vault dramatically to the ceiling giving a frameless effect. Solar water and electricity and a 20,000 L in ground rainwater tank complement the energy efficiency of this home.

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.
