Breathing new life into a brick veneer 70's home, making it comfortable, energy efficient and functional.

With a strategic approach to modernizing an existing brick veneer family home in Highton Victoria, we have given a new lease of life to an aging dwelling, creating a comfortable, efficient and functional home that will meet the needs of a young family into the future.

Much work has gone into improving the energy efficiency, including re-wrapping and adding insulation to the external walls, underfloor and roof cavity, replacing aging windows with high quality double glazed window units.

The home has had a full interior renovation improving the functionality and usability of the existing floor space without the need for a renovation.

FEATURES

All Electric Home

Replaced aging gas with new efficient electric appliances and upgraded to a heat pump hot water unit.

Enhanced energy efficiency

The introduction of external wrap and insulation to the walls, underfloor and roof, combined with new double glazing has drastically improved the performance of the home.

Improved functionality

Careful consideration to internal layout has greatly improved functionality and available space in the house without the need for an extension.
