Successes:

Glenbuild director Finn Glengarry was elated when it was announced that his team had taken out the National Supreme Renovation of the Year award and the Renovation over $1.5 million category at the 2023 National House of the Year Awards.

“I felt incredibly proud of the team — it was so great to see their hard work and dedication recognised. Receiving these awards tells us we are on the right track in our pursuit for excellent standards. It also lets prospective clients know that we will work tirelessly with them to create their dream home,” Finn says.

Challenges

Finn and the team worked extremely hard to deliver stellar results.

“It took a massive amounts of effort, collaboration, and commitment by all of the designers, sub-trades and our team to create a home like this. It was a very technical renovation, requiring broad skill sets across multiple trades to achieve a seamless transition between the existing high level of finish and the new aspects of the home,” Finn says.

“The existing home was a large masonry build; this was a challenge as the project involved a lot of block removal and additional structural elements which had to be installed into already finished parts of the home.”

Judges comments:

This remarkable renovation showcased an unwavering commitment to architectural integrity and seamless transitions. The complex structural changes, including the expansion of the middle floor and the addition of a new gym, were executed with precision, blending seamlessly with the existing architectural details and landscaping.

Despite the challenges posed by the existing masonry structure, the renovation achieved a remarkable flow throughout the house. The refurbishments of various areas were completed to an exceptional standard. Glenbuild did an outstanding job and are very deserving of this award
