This commercial building project entailed the comprehensive renovation of a Point Lonsdale 1950s brick veneer house to convert it into a modern space.
Key renovations include full restumping to ensure structural stability, removal of internal load-bearing walls, and installation of structural steel framing to create an open-plan layout. Upgrades such as new energy-efficient windows and doors, enhanced flooring, wall and ceiling linings with insulation, and fully accessible bathrooms significantly improved both aesthetics and functionality. The renovation also featured new cabinetry, tiling, and heating and cooling systems, contributing to a contemporary and welcoming environment.
In addition to interior improvements, the project included essential external enhancements. A complete replacement of the tiled roof to bolster weather resistance, while external rendering and painting refreshed the building’s appearance. Accessibility was further supported by the installation of decks and access ramps, alongside the concreting of a public car park area to facilitate convenient access for patrons.
Overall, this transformation blended the historical charm of the original house with modern commercial standards, making it a valuable addition to the community.
