Interior of house as mentioned in previous post.
By adding high windows, uniform flooring, lining over exposed rafters and opening up spaces to the amazing view the interior is now a pleasant and relaxing space.
Interior photos: first 4 photos are "before" followed by "new".

This project has been almost 4 years in the making. The house was originally built as a bach and added onto over the years. When I came on board there were multiple issues with it including leaking, lack of light, tired and semi finished interiors, and the entire house needed a reclad and new window and door joinery.
The completed project has resulted in a light filled, modern, warm and relaxed home.
Exterior photos: The first four photos are the "before" followed by the "new". New cladding is Ulltraclad and Specialized Construction Products Plaster with a subtle colour mix.

This is a "tiny home" project I was involved in a few years ago.
It is always nice to see the finished project. It looks amazing.

Many of us dream of leaving the modern world behind and escaping to an idyllic off-the-grid cabin where we can relax, enjoy quiet time and be with nature. In...

I went on a site visit today to check out the progress on this "super" shed. It is looking great with the Lawsons Cypress board & batten cladding.

This new townhouse build on a subdivided site is well underway. The builder/developer is very happy with how it is coming together & the overall room sizes & layout.

It's a frosty morning on site but it is good to see the builders are making progress on this alteration. Ground floor walls going up and getting ready for the first floor level soon.

Good to see the builders have arrived on site. Site fencing is up & demolition has begun on this villa. The project involves improvement of the ground floor Living, Dining, Kitchen & Laundry areas plus the addition of a Bedroom & Ensuite at first floor level. This will involve removing the existing lean to areas & rebuilding in keeping with the original villa.

Farm shed to family home.
The conversion is almost complete and the family have moved in & are enjoying living in the unique spaces.

Not all sheds are created equal.... And definitely not this one! This is a shed with a first floor loft storage space. It is slightly quirky due to its shape which was dictated by making the most of the site shape & boundaries. The cladding will be plywood & rough sawn battens which will suit the form of the shed. The shed is for an overseas based client. Documentation is complete & is in for consent at the moment. Updates to come.

Watch this space......this rural shed is about to be converted to a family home.
This has been a fun project to provide design & documentation for. Consent has been granted and now Clelands are about to begin the transformation.
