This magnificent restoration of a four-storey building to practical completion within nine months, involved complex planning, use of technology such as drones and 3D modelling, restoring, or replacing a wide array of heritage materials and carefully installing modern commercial building requirements, all whilst meeting the State Heritage requirements. The superb result confirms Hansen Yuncken is worthy of this award.

GLASSHOUSE PROJECTS

Project: Prospect – Pear Tree House

This project successfully resulted in the subtle renovation of an 1890’s cottage and the construction of a modern light-fille drear addition, which provided a range of textures and spaces to complement the requirements of the client. The blackbutt cladding and stonework areas were extended from inside the new addition to the outside pool and entertainment area, therefore providing a striking integration of the additions. Another stunning project delivered by Glasshouse Projects.
