Location Pleasant Avenue, Erskineville CategoryResidential About This Project This renovation project was originally hampered by the fact that the adjoining neighbour of the semi-detached dwelling did not consent to building onto the party/shared wall. We were able to design a roof at the rear of the cottage that didn’t require us to touch this structure saving the client time, money and removing cause for concern of the neighbour. Our brief was to bring a 1970’s renovated Victorian Era cottage into the 21st century, and to allow for guest accommodation above the existing garage on the rear lane. The owners favourite room was the bathroom with the full width and full height window to the shower – it does face a blank wall. When they sold it recently the realised sale price was far in excess of the owners and agents expectations.

Professional Reviews

“We engaged Greg for pre-purchase because we weren’t sure what was possible on the property or whether our budget would stretch far enough for the renovation we had in mind. Greg was highly responsive and quickly arranged to review our brief, budget and timeline. He even attended a midweek inspection and, within an hour, delivered a clear and detailed report covering planning controls, site constraints, Sydney Water impacts and a concept design tailored to us. Even though we didn’t end up buying the property, his guidance gave us clarity and the confidence to bid. We would recommend Greg to anyone requiring these services. He clearly knows his stuff and is passionate about delivering value for his clients.”
