Looking back on the meticulously built Bellaire Court home in Beaumaris which heroes concrete, natural timber and steel in their rawest forms.

Some of the most meaningful parts of a heritage restoration are the details that find their way home.

At Silver Birches, we’ve carefully restored original Art Deco tiles, rebuilt period cornices to match the existing details, and refurbished the home’s original steel windows. One of our favourite stories is the return of the original door handles, which had been removed by a previous owner and were later tracked down by our client at a local antique store. After being restored, they’ve now been reinstated throughout the house.

It’s these small details that help preserve the character and history of a place.
