Hamptons on Burrawong

Working from scratch, Timber Artistry has begun construction of a new two storey home. Working off supplied plans, a new garage concrete slab was poured and garage structure with exposed cathedral ceilings has been completed. In these latest pictures, rear footings and subfloor framework has also been completed ready for the walls to be constructed. 

 The brief for a Hamptons style beach home with use of raw materials is synonymous with Timber Artistry’s signature style and we look forward to bringing you more updates as this project progresses. 

Fay Street: The Plans

This exciting project is in the works for 2020! Stay tuned for pictures of progress as we bring this home to life. If you’ve ever wondered what’s involved in a big project then take a look at the plans below. We work according to very detailed plans that take into account all aspects of the property, surrounding landscape, building inspiration and even light and shadow throughout the year.

Labour of Love: The Finishing Touches

A house this beautiful needs a garden to match. Working with a sloping front yard, Timber Artistry have created a succulent filled garden and level grassed area with sandstone blocks. A mix of vibrant green and silver foliage tie in with the natural sandstone, while a herb garden to the left of the house supplies an abundance of basil, mint, rosemary, parsley and tarragon.

Finishing details on the house are underway, but if you missed the construction journey, take a look at the previous stage here.

Living in the Beach Shack

The rear of the beach shack is complete and Timber Artistry set to work on landscaping. Large sandstone blocks are installed as a border around the new levelled grass area.

Inside we see the owners enjoying their custom timber kitchenette, dining table and bench seats.

Updating the property’s front facade is the next step and set for completion July 2020.

Take a look at the work involved in this project here.

Meet the Beach Shack

A ‘shack’ doesn’t necessarily conjure images of luxe comfort and detailed finishes, but this latest project will be an exception to the rule. The humble dwelling in Narrabeen is undergoing an external and internal cosmetic makeover to make it the envy of every visitor and passerby. 

In the back of the property a new entertaining area is coming into existence. Through a new set of barn doors, the covered deck area leads seamlessly into the backyard down an expansive set of stairs. Aesthetic details include a cathedral pitched ceiling, copper lighting features and new hardwood balustrading. Rusted steel finishes add a unique touch to the handrails.

To create a flat backyard area, Timber Artistry excavated and filled in the space, then completed some minor landscaping. 

On the shack itself, facade work is being undertaken to update all cosmetic linings both internally and externally. New timber windows, doors and floors are being installed throughout. Custom work includes a custom timber kitchenette, to create a simple country feel, and custom dining tables and bench seats built to suit the home’s living areas. 

We look forward to bringing you more of this project which is set for completion in July 2020.

Labour of Love: We Have a House

A second storey has emerged, and this ‘Labour of Love’ is looking more like a house, complete with a recently poured driveway and ‘garage’ barns doors which have been installed on steel tracks. From the exterior you can see that all windows and doors have been installed, along with external weatherboards. Minor landscaping components have also begun. 

Inside the house, the bones are all there, with the installation of electrical provisions and all pendant lighting. Hardwood flooring is ready for sanding and tiling of the wet areas has commenced. The internal staircase has also come to life with stair casement and brass finishes complete. Good things take time and this ‘Labour of Love’ is no exception!

Take a look at where this project has come from here.

Warraba Flat: In With The New

We’ve come a long way from the lemon yellow house that once was. At this stage all subfloor framing has been complete and internal, as well as external walls have been framed and installed according to plans supplied to Timber Artistry.

The exposed rafter pitched roof is complete with all new corrugated matt finish roof sheets installed. V-joint lining boards contribute to aesthetic appeal and these have been applied to the entire roof structure. 

Far from small and pokey, this granny flat includes a deck for entertaining. The framework of the deck has been completed and Black Butt hardwood decking has been installed and fixed down with stainless steel fixings. To create privacy, Timber Artistry has installed a custom fixed timber louvered privacy screen along the entertaining area.

If you missed ‘the old’ you can take a peek at where we started here.

Labour of Love: One Level Down, One To Go

Things are taking shape and you will soon see that no details have been spared for this labour of love. At this point all ground floor framing has been completed along with exposed floor joists and second story flooring. 

Aesthetic details are already making their mark with installation of a front pivot door and sandstone cladding. Internally, ground floor barn doors and plaster board finishes have been applied. The staircase continues the detail from bottom to top. Sawtooth stair stringers have been cut out, installed and they are now ready for finishing.

The second stage in this project will involve construction of second floor walls and roofing framework ready for sheeting. If you missed the first stage of this project you can check out the demolition and construction of an architectural concrete feature wall here.
