About

Set on a substantial Bayside property, this modern three storey extension (including basement) and renovation transforms the original double fronted Victorian villa into a spectacular contemporary residence. The villa will be sympathetically restored to include bedrooms, bathrooms and a glamorous lounge in the original front reception room.

While sharing the generous proportions and solid materials of the Victorian, the new extension stands in direct contrast featuring extensive glazing and contemporary detailing. The stairwell and adjacent courtyard sit between old and new which includes the kitchen, meals, living on the ground floor, the master domain on the upper and the gym, cellar and sauna in the basement. A formed concrete loggia protects the northern glazing and curves to the east covering the outdoor entertaining area and sunken lounge pit.

About

Combining contemporary design cues with heritage features, number thirty nine is going to shape up to be one of our best projects to date. The scope is wholesome and leaves no stone unturned in the quest to revive the 1940’s post war home that exists. We will be stripping back to frame in the existing, and opening up the lower ground spaces with expansive structural propping and steel work. The entire home has high end Architectural detail by Pleysier Perkins throughout. The outdoors will be lined with beautiful greenery, crazy paving, pool and a plant list that will wow any horticulturist. This project will be one to watch over the next 9 months for sure. This progressive build will involve a raft of specialist trades and products to implement over the job. Watch this space.

About

We specialise in Architectural extensions and this Spanish mission is no exception to the rule. With humble beginnings and a big vision for her new home, Sarah and her designers have worked hard to come up with something that is both good looking and a functional space. The detail finds itself in every facet of the façade, with its tall Silvertop Ash cladded walls, a vast modern, light filled living room and kitchen. The bathrooms and laundry have top end finishes and we've harnessed natural light everywhere we can, keeping the house open, warm and functional.

About

Our clients have worked with their designer to open up this Victorian Weatherboard home in a leafy pocket of Northcote. We've added a new main bedroom with WIR, Ensuite for Mum and Dad, along with new timber flooring and joinery to the existing bedrooms. A central Laundry backs on to a new Kitchen, which flows through nicely to the Living room and new Playroom at the back of the property.

We've maximised the light and outlook in to the backyard with classy black Aluminium double glazed Stackers, Sliders, and Fixed panel windows. New stringy bark Timber floors will transition beautifully in to the existing polished concrete Living room, and accentuate the modern finishes throughout.

TESTIMONIAL

Big thanks to Tim, Adam, Clancy and all the guys at TCON who renovated our house last year. As designers my wife and I were looking for a high-end architectural feel whilst respecting the period features & heritage of the house. TCON exceeded our expectations applying the care and attention to detail needed throughout the work.

From day 1 we were impressed by TCON’s approach. Adam did an exceptional job managing the project, keeping things well organised and providing some invaluable advice along the way.

Throughout the build we found a sense of pride in the way the TCON builders went about their work, which has been reflected in the workmanship & quality of the finished product.

We are delighted with the end result - being back home with the kids for Christmas was amazing, and we’ll always be grateful to the TCON crew who pulled out all stops to make it happen. We couldn’t recommend TCON highly enough.

Thanks again,

Matt & Renee

ABOUT

Built in 1913, this stunning tuck pointed brick Federation home has all the original features including slate tiles and is a standout in the suburb. Home to three continuous generations before our clients moved in, the house has been maintained with love. Our task at hand is to extend into the spacious backyard to create a new kitchen, open plan living, study and laundry. We will then push above the 3.3 metre high ceilings downstairs and carefully add two large bedrooms and a bathroom and make this home big enough for the growing family.

ABOUT

Renovations don't always apply to period homes, and this contemporary modern millennial was well over due for an update. The brief, to freshen up and update. The result was a thoughtful combination of current modern taste and a considered approach to budget.

Terrazzo tiles are used in tactful restraint, whilst weathered brass tapware add to the contrast across all the bathrooms and feature in the kitchen, giving relief to the laminex ravine joinery.

The island bench features as a centerpiece of the kitchen, handmade american oak with an almost monolithic piece of caesarstone on top, the space is sure to be a hub for entertaining at parties and lends emphasis to a more communal mealtime. 

Generally all the surfaces have seen a fresh coat of paint, with major updates to the main entrance removing a dated internal water garden and pillars. the parquetry has been revived for another ten year tenure with a coat of Loba Invisible. 

Worth noting is the sizable scope of work that went into updating both bathrooms in the home, due to some poor waterproofing and ongoing damage. The result should see this home serve on looking fresh and ready for another decade of style both up to date and up to code.

Testimonial

Deciding to undertake a full renovation of our home that had been passed down three generations of our family was a daunting decision to make. Our next step was to find a builder that we could trust with this project, and are so grateful to have found TCON. 

From our very first contact, through the planning phase to construction and even beyond the completion of this project, TCON have been remarkable in every way.

Not only did we find Tim, our project manager Stu and the entire team at TCON incredibly honest and transparent, their attention to detail and dedication to providing the finest results went beyond anything we could have hoped for. They walked us through every step of this project, and whilst we waited for the inevitable stressors that are supposed to come with renovating a home- none came. Tim and Stu cared for our home like it was their own, and together with their entire team worked tirelessly to transform our old and tired house into a beautiful hand-crafted gift for the generations in our family to come. 

We can't thank them, nor sing their praises loudly enough.

With sincere gratitude,

Morgan and Markus

About

Knock down and rebuild of a classic Victorian weatherboard home in Northcote. The client wants to keep the original design of their home, but the cost to re-engineer it for a second storey on a highly reactive site was going to be tough and expensive. They elected to knock it down and this way can have a custom made family home and their own block of land.

About

Victor and Michelle have just completed a very extensive renovation, but we broke it up into 3 seperate stages to make life a little less disruptive. First, we renovated their downstairs completely with new kitchen, laundry, bathroom and hallway.

Six months later we went upstairs and added another bedroom, opened the space which incorporated a new bathroom, builtin robes and lounge area for the kids. Further down the track we put the final piece in the puzzle - the Alfresco. We demolished the existing decking, removed all the posts and put some large beams in the roof so that the new alfresco could be opened up and overlook the stunning pool, spotted gum screens and decking.

About

With a large amount of roof space, there is actually a second storey inside of this roof. We have extended the gable end of the roof and installed two new windows to bring in a large amount of natural light to the bedroom. The Ensuite was also very tight for space, so we extended out of the roof, a dormer window, which will be cladded with Alucobond. A new ensuite, new polished timber floors and fresh coat of paint has turned this house into a home!
