Knockdown Rebuild
Architect: Shorehouse Projects
This Carrington knockdown rebuild, designed by Shorehouse Projects, was created as a light-filled family home for a compact inner-city block. Thoughtful spatial planning and careful construction delivered a practical layout with room to grow, while maintaining a clean, comfortable, and well resolved finish.
Project Insights
A Home That Grew With the Family
What began as a first-floor addition evolved into a near full rebuild, creating a light-filled family home on a compact inner-city block in Carrington.
Why Early Builder Involvement Changes the Outcome of a Custom Home
Early builder involvement doesn't change the vision for a home. It helps make sure that vision works as well in real life as it does on paper.
Building on Flood-Prone Land in Newcastle: What You Need to Know Before You Design
Flood requirements influence decisions from the beginning. When these constraints are understood early, the design can work with them rather than against them.
When a First Floor Addition Isn't Enough
A first-floor addition can be a good solution, but it is not always the right one. The key is understanding early whether the existing home can support what you are trying to achieve.
What a Council Modification Actually Means During a Build
Changes can still occur during construction, and in some situations, they are not just necessary, they improve the final outcome. Understanding how the process works makes it easier to navigate when changes come up.
What Actually Keeps a Complex Build Moving
Progress on site is rarely just about what is happening in front of you. It is shaped by planning, sequencing, communication, and how well the moving parts are managed behind the scenes.

“The Martick team has recently finished an extension on our house. We highly recommend them for their attention to detail, hard work throughout, advice offered and most of all the communication throughout the process. They've made quite a big/overwhelming project for us so much easier and we would have them return for any future projects we plan in a heartbeat.”
