Heritage Renovations

Whether your property is heritage-listed, located within a Heritage Conservation area, or simply rich in original features, we work to preserve its story while making it liveable for today. Every project begins with a deep respect for what exists—pressed metal ceilings, ornate tiling, original joinery, and even the home’s relationship to its streetscape.

In areas like Sydney’s Inner West or harbourside suburbs such as Mosman, Kirribilli, and Birchgrove, heritage overlays are common. From the character terraces of Balmain to the Federation facades of Annandale, these homes reflect the identity of their neighbourhoods. We consider each one individually, because what heritage means in one location can differ significantly from another.

We believe that preserving heritage doesn’t mean compromising on comfort. That’s why we take a tailored approach—salvaging and reusing sandstone blocks, restoring old timber where feasible, and incorporating modern necessities like compliant windows, smoke seals, and connectivity, all without undermining historical integrity.

Heritage projects often involve specific compliance pathways, including statutory approvals, council restrictions, or exemptions. Our team is experienced in navigating these processes and can guide you early on with feasibility reviews, cost assessments, and a clear understanding of your responsibilities, whether you’re planning a renovation or considering a purchase. In some cases, original materials may even need to be returned to the council, and existing structures assessed for excavation potential, structural safety, and modern code compliance.

By integrating thoughtful design with a clear understanding of planning controls, we help you make strategic, cost-effective decisions that respect your home’s past and future.
