Brougham Renovation








The Brougham Street renovation was always to be undertaken with the utmost care and devotion towards the existing 1900’s Corner Bay Villa style. Initial research showed that previous historical additions over various decades had been somewhat detrimental to the character of the “painted lady”. The most important part of the renovation was the high specification of the materials, integration of modern conveniences and reintegration of previously lost victorian features. Authentic sash windows were sourced to replace 1970’s windows, mouldings and skirtings were replicated and kitchens, bathrooms and services completely overhauled. Nothing has been spared in the rejuvenation of this historic villa which can now sit proudly on the crest of the Mt Victoria streetscape.
