3 Month Turnaround
Luxury Renovation
Initially triggered by an insurance claim, this project evolved into a full-scale rooftop renovation, reflecting Harris Carpentry and Construction’s ability to transform necessary repairs into opportunities for significant home improvements. This project highlights HCC’s expertise in rooftop renovations, particularly inner city properties where outdoor space is at a premium.
Before the Project
The rooftop of the property was in a state of disrepair, necessitating urgent attention due to its deteriorated condition. The existing space was underutilised and lacked the structural integrity needed to support regular use.
The original intention was to address the damage through an insurance claim, but the potential for creating a valuable outdoor living area became apparent.
The team at HCC worked with the owner to create their vision for a modern outdoor entertaining area where at night they could enjoy the view of the stunning and illuminated Melbourne skyline.
The property’s location in South Melbourne, with views of Albert Park Lake, made it an ideal candidate for a rooftop transformation that would enhance both functionality and appeal.
Project Challenges
The primary challenge in this project was to convert an insurance-mandated repair into a valuable renovation that added both utility and aesthetic appeal. The project required careful planning to ensure that all repairs met high standards while also redesigning the space to maximise its potential as a living area.
The rooftop had to be structurally sound to support regular use, and the design needed to complement the urban setting, taking full advantage of the views and space available. Harris Carpentry and Construction approached this by seamlessly integrating necessary repairs with thoughtful design, ensuring that the rooftop not only met the client’s needs but also added significant value to the property.
After the Project
The completion of this South Melbourne project saw the rooftop fully transformed into a stunning outdoor living space, providing the homeowners with a new area for relaxation and entertainment.
The structural improvements ensured long-term durability, while the aesthetic enhancements created a visually appealing environment that perfectly suited the property’s urban setting.
The successful renovation significantly elevated the property’s value, making it a standout feature in the South Melbourne area. If you’re looking to transform underutilised spaces into valuable living areas, Harris Carpentry and Construction has the expertise to deliver results that exceed expectations.
