The first floor of this home sits in a Flame Zone area with a Bushfire Attack Level 40 rating, meaning upgraded windows, roller shutters, and specialised insulation were required.
At Spannenberg & Son, we have the experience and knowledge to manage projects with these extra requirements from start to finish.
We are grateful to our clients, suppliers, tradespeople, and staff for your unwavering support this past year.
As we look ahead to 2026, we are excited about the many new opportunities and rewarding moments to come.
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a safe and joyous New Year. May your holidays be filled with laughter, quality time with loved ones, and the creation of cherished memories.
From the Spannenberg & Son team
What goes into linking the exisiting ground floor to the new first floor addition?
The staircase plays a huge role, not just for the obvious functional reason, but in how it ties the two levels together. It needs to flow naturally, work with the layout of the home and make moving between floors easy.
We pride ourselves on Genuine Service & Quality Workmanship.
The goal was to transform the internal layout to an open plan kitchen and living space whilst enhancing the views.
We claimed some space from the existing balcony to enlarge the internal footprint. We relocated the kitchen to the front of the house and removed internal walls to create an open plan layout that captures the panoramic views immediately upon entering the home. A new front entrance was created, fitted with a new modern door, entrance decking and balustrade.
To further enhance the connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces, bifold doors were installed across the entire span of the kitchen and living space flooding the interior with natural light. The balcony was treated to new tiled flooring that compliments the refreshed interior.
Site access was difficult with a steep narrow climb of over 50 stairs. We relied on utilising the crane truck to lift our heavy materials and steel beam onto site.
The extension required consultation with our engineers to securely anchor our build and concrete slab to existing cliff rock.
Façade materials were carefully selected to match the existing preserving the home’s character.
