Description of Project
Full brick federation styled bungalow. The extension consisted of light weight external cladding, large open planned living, and equally large covered external entertaining area.
Client Brief
To construct a large open plan living area that included an additional bathroom and separate laundry, that is contemporary internally and captures original heritage features externally. To convert existing kitchen with fireplace into a spacious new bathroom.
Outcome
A contemporary open plan internal living area and spacious covered outdoor area with external light-weight materials still in keeping with the front federation bungalow styling.
Special Features
– Large covered external entertaining area with cathedral gable roof.
– Cathedral roof lined with stained v-grooved lining boards and decorative fan strut.
– Custom built privacy screen with cladding to lower half and fixed glazed windows above.
– Bi-fold doors with breeze way louvers above.
Builder’s Comments
Using light weight materials reduced the construction time considerably. The choice in placement of external decorative timber (e.g. v-grooved stained lining boards to rear entertainment area) makes for a low maintenance decorative feature with high impact. The lifting of levels to the rear lawn make for a seamless transition between the outdoor and garden areas.
Testimonial
SE Martin promised and delivered. A little over 4 years ago we developed plans to add modern living spaces to our Federation Cottage while retaining the original charm of the existing building. We approached SE Martin with our plans and quickly agreed on an approach that would allow us to continue to live-in during the building process.
–
The build progressed ontime and on budget with a high standard of build quality and finish that looks as fresh today as when just finished. We could not fault the management of the project and were impressed by the timeliness of the SE Martin Team and their contractors who delivered the high standard of build that we hoped for. We would gladly recommend SE Martin and have done so several times since the completion of our project.
