Updated facade to a 1960s home in Warrawee, Sydney.
Comments (6)Yes you are right, oskuee, the cost of this renovation was commensurate with its location in a prestige suburb of Sydney. Having said that, the budget was not limitless, so we chose to retain and enhance the bones and style of the original house by making 'simple' changes, rather than reinventing the whole house's look & layout, which would require more extensive and costly changes. This is how I usually approach renovations, to get the most out of the client's budget, no matter what the size or cost of the project is....See MoreBefore/After: Transforming a 1960s Home in Surrey

Comments (3)rereading your post i now realise that the windows are already grey but would be great to have the gutters painted to cover the green but instead of hand painting check with the local powder coating company as it's possible to have the gutters powder coated ..we took our gutters down and had to put them back up again...tedious but more effective than hand painting...See Morerenovate or detonate help! 3 bed . 1 bath original 1960’s cottage
Comments (17)first task would be to organise a survey including precise location of existing buildings so you can be sure of the exact amount of space available ... the block is so much bigger than you realise and you should ask local council about precise set backs needed from all boundaries for your specific block (not standard setbacks for the average rectangular block) and, depending on long term goals and the number of people who will need to live in the house immediately, you could renovate in stages eg internal reno with new kitchen and bathroom, new laundry pantry and rear deck, new master suite and front verandahs, clean roof tiles and convert old garage to rumpus, add pool then new double garage....the new master suite, garages and front verandah should create a vintage look with simple skillion roof, wall cladding and the bigger front porch something like this...See Moredreamer
