Creewood II House | Concord
Project Overview
Creewood II House was our second heritage renovation project on this Concord street. Working with Corey and Loretta, the aim was to transform the home into a functional, light-filled family residence while respecting the established historical character of the neighbourhood. Set within a strict Heritage Conservation Area, the project required a high level of technical knowledge, careful design judgement and a clear understanding of Canada Bay Council requirements.
Heritage Design & Neighbourhood Character
The design needed to create a contemporary family lifestyle without compromising the heritage value of the existing home or the surrounding streetscape. From the beginning, the focus was on providing honest, educated design advice that balanced the clients’ lifestyle needs with the expectations of the Heritage Conservation Area.
The result was a modern extension that sat comfortably against the original home while maintaining a strong connection to the surrounding heritage setting.
Development Application Approval
When we presented the concept plan, it became clear that the design captured exactly what the family needed while carefully addressing the relevant planning and heritage requirements. This meticulous attention to detail meant that when the Development Application was submitted, it moved through the approval process smoothly and without issue.
Design & Construction Involvement
Throughout the design and construction process, we stayed closely involved to provide advice and help protect the integrity of the approved design. The finished home is a bright, practical and highly functional family space that reflects our commitment to heritage-conscious and sustainable residential design.
Project Outcome
Creewood II House became another rewarding heritage project on this street and further demonstrated how contemporary family living can be achieved within a beautifully preserved heritage setting.
The project was also featured in The Daily Telegraph Home Magazine in an article titled “A Question of Balance.”
