'Werona' Trevallyn - Design & Restoration

The restoration and refurbishment of this heritage property was designed and built by Phillip Hawksley

The property was in it’s original state. Stables were converted into a double garage and a tunnel constructed into the house to provide access to the main staircase. Ensuites were installed to all seven bedrooms, along with hidden ducted air-conditioning to all rooms. The fabric of the property was carefully and meticulously restored to it’s original condition, right down to the Axminister carpet copied from a remnant still on the stairs.

Paint was tediously scraped back on all exterior surfaces to reveal the original colour scheme, which was restored to provide an authentic palette. Pressed metal ceiling features were painted, ragging of walls and marbling of features was completed, along with new art nouveau leadlight windows, all to authentically replicate the fine workmanship expected in this period.

The work Phillip completed on this home resulted in the receipt of three prestigious awards along with many accolades from local and national media.
