Bulk limewash by Bauwerk going on at the Albany Cottage project.

This finish adds depth, texture, and character that simply can't be achieved with standard paint. The subtle variation in tone creates a softer, more natural appearance that suits the cottage perfectly.

It's one of those finishes that gets better the closer you look.

Starting to see the vision come together.

A look back at one of our renovation projects.

There’s something rewarding about giving an older home a new lease on life while still respecting its original character. Thoughtful renovations are about more than updating a space, they’re about improving how a home feels and functions for the people living in it.

A lot of planning, detail, and craftsmanship goes into creating a result that feels seamless.

Progress on the Albany Cottage project.

Waz the wizard from Peake Interior Linings has come in to bead and flush the interiors, and as always, him and the team are leaving behind a quality finish for all the following trades to work with.

This stage is always a turning point in the build. The flushing starts to define the spaces and brings the clients’ vision from a mental concept into something tangible.

Starting to come together nicely.

Albany Cottage pendant test day.

One of those small details that makes a big impact once the space comes together. Getting the placement, height, and scale right is all part of creating balance within the home.

Starting to see the vision come to life.

The slab and wall frames are up on our new ancillary building in Kalgan.

We took a slightly different approach on this one, using Pythagoras on the calculator to work out stud and plate lengths, rather than setting it all out on the slab.

It’s a simple method, but it keeps things accurate and efficient when working through the frame.

Looking over the first cut of our Holcim Storm Cloud slab.

This is where the finish starts to show, checking the surface, consistency, and how the colour is coming through before we move to the next stage.

Next up, the boys get stuck into the wall frames.
