Conversion of old Bulimba, Queensland church into a 5 bedroom 3 bathrooms family home. The project strategy was to amplify existing experiences with unique design solutions. Additions are bold and responsive to the original house which is stoic and solid. New cladding is inspired by the large round columns on the original portico. The geometry of the existing brick arches is extruded into intersecting vaults, which form the idea for the new living room ceilings. Photography: Andy Mcpherson

“We worked with Bespoke Constructions over an 18month period, from initial planning to the completion of what was and still is our “dream home.” While a complicated renovation, with the re-positioning of the pool and the complete refurbishment of an ancient tennis court, the team were able to adjust and adapt while making sure their attention to the actual house (an old Queenslander) was their priority. Bill and his team were responsive to our concerns, explained all parts of the build-in detail and worked seamlessly with our architects. A renovation this size was never going to be “easy”, but we knew that the Bespoke team had as much invested in building our home as we did, maybe not financially but certainly in their work ethic, honesty, and attention to detail. Two years down the track I still am in awe of how beautiful the house is and I would recommend them to anyone considering a renovation in a heartbeat.”
