64 George Street, East Fremantle
The renovation of 64 George Street in East Fremantle was to return a divided building - one section was an operating Real Estate Agency whilst the remaining section the home of Julie and Miles. The building itself was over a hundred years old and had endured a number of renovations and changes since the original build.
The brief was to renovate the entire building, reintegrate the sectioned-off office into a larger family home, remove dividing walls and construct a new fire wall. We also had to create a new kitchen, living and dining area, a new master bedroom and ensuite, a new home office, outdoor living and a storeroom, plus, reclad external walls and makeover the front façade of the building.
There were some challenges to rebuild sections of the building due to deterioration of the floor and roof frames, termite damage and some previous inadequate workmanship. However, our tradies overcame any obstacles and were able to use a fusion of new and old materials to create a real success with new comfortable and functional open living spaces. The home also more than meets new energy standards with an upgrade in wall and ceiling insulation, underfloor heating, solar panels (with a view to eventual battery storage and energy efficient living), North facing windows and cross flow ventilation.
All within budget and on time!
