The Reserve Bank lifted the cash rate to 4.60 per cent on 29 September, its fourth rise this year, and it has said more may follow. If you have a new build, renovation or extension in mind, is now the right right time to consider starting the process?

Rates are up and Sydney property values are softer . Builders are seeking work. Trades are available. Sydney's quiet construction market means potentially sharper pricing for renovators . Why acting beats waiting.

Whilst most of our projects are closer to home in the Inner West, we also have a body of work across Sydney.

One area of note, where we have several projects is the North Shore suburb of Roseville.

I was there again today as we are commencing work on a new project in the area, and I thought I would revisit some of our past projects.

When it comes to heritage homes, the question isn’t should we change them? It’s how do we change them well?

Every Federation house has its own logic – in the proportions, the materials and the details. Before we design anything new, we spend time understanding what was there in the first place and why it works.

Good heritage design isn’t about copying the past or freezing a home in time. It’s about making thoughtful decisions that let old and new sit comfortably together, so the house continues to function for modern life without losing its character.

Council controls are part of the picture, but they’re not the whole story. The best outcomes come from clear design thinking early on, backed by experience and a strong understanding of the building itself.

If you’re thinking about renovating a heritage home and not sure where to start, this is exactly the kind of conversation we have with our clients every day. Get in touch and let’s talk it through.

Album of the week!
This weeks Album of the week goes to 2021’s Teenage Gizzard by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.

Known for their incredibly prolific output, they have released 27 studio albums, 64 live albums, 3 EP’s (remember them), 5 compilations, and 1 remix album so far.

Vinyl collectors also love them for their bold graphics, and who could blame them with fantastic album art such as this one. In terms of style, they are indie-psycahdelic-shambolic-garage rock in the same vein as artists such as Brian Jonestown Massacre, Beasts of Bourbon and The Cramps.

Despite the vast number of titles, actual numbers of albums produced is cottage industry sized, and collectors are know to pay up to $1500 for some of their more desirable albums.

A good introduction to their best work would be the song, and accompanying video of ‘Rattlesnake’ from the album ‘Flying Microtonal Banana’. ENJOY!
