Farmhouse renovation

The Northern Rivers region, encompassing Byron Bay and its surrounds, is rich in architectural history, featuring an array of heritage-listed properties and traditional farmhouses. Renovating these homes requires a delicate balance between preserving historical integrity and integrating modern comforts.

Farmhouse Renovations

Traditional farmhouses of the Byron Bay Hinterland and Northern Rivers region offer unique opportunities for renovations that reimagine a future of comfort, practicality and beauty while honouring the charm, history and lifetimes of stories contained within.

High ceilings, wide verandahs, natural timbers and gorgeous outlooks provide ample opportunities to envisage a home that's uniquely characterful, while introducing a fresh look, a highly liveable floorplan, practical features and outdoor living spaces that work together in harmony with the natural surrounds.

We also look for opportunities to make your home as environmentally sustainable as possible, incorporating solar panels, rainwater tanks, energy-efficient insulation and natural and reclaimed materials where possible and suited to your vision for your home

Understanding heritage houses and regulations

In Australia, heritage properties are protected under council and state regulations. Before commencing any renovation, it's crucial to determine if your property is listed on the National Heritage List or a State Heritage Register. Heritage listings often come with specific guidelines that dictate what changes can be made to the property's structure, facade, and internal features. Engaging with local heritage councils early in the planning process ensures compliance and helps in obtaining necessary approvals. .

Key Considerations for Heritage Renovations.

Preservation of Original Features: Retaining elements like timber floorboards, ornate ceilings, and original fireplaces maintains the property's character. Restoration should focus on repairing rather than replacing these features whenever possible.
Sympathetic Extensions: When adding to a heritage home, extensions should be designed to complement the existing structure. This might involve using similar materials or architectural styles to ensure a seamless transition between old and new.
Modern Amenities with Historical Aesthetics: Integrating modern conveniences, such as updated kitchens and bathrooms, should be done in a way that doesn't detract from the home's historical appeal. For instance, using period-appropriate fixtures or concealed modern appliances can achieve this balance.
