Lindsay Street

This project involved a two-storey extension to a heritage home whilst the clients lived in the front cottage! Buildsmart sealed the cottage from the rear addition works and prepared it for living. After the breezeway, kitchen, living, master bedroom, ensuite, study and walk-in-robe extension and outdoor areas were complete, the existing cottage received a bathroom and laundry renovation.

The project uses a beautiful and calming combination of earthy-toned materials including recycled brick, timber windows and doors, polished concrete and spotted gum flooring and a feature staircase using folded sheet metal and spotted gum timber treads and cabinetry.

The client and architect wished to achieve a maximum 3 air changes per hour (ACH) with the air tightness wrapping details specified. A blower door test putting the extension under pressure showed Buildsmart achieved 0.69 ACH!
