A new level for entertaining - Warkworth
When PlaceMakers product manager Andrew Shirley and partner Nicola set out to turn their downstairs into an entertaining area with internal access, they wanted to create a natural indoor-outdoor flow that’s still in character with the 1910s villa.
Using bricks from the villa’s original chimney to raise and retain a new outdoor space is a feature that Andrew and his partner Nicola proudly created by hand, with some expert bricklaying advice from the team at PlaceMakers! A large natural timber retaining wall has been back-filled with soil taken from under the house to create a flat area for socialising and backyard games of Corn Hole.
To match the villa’s old Kauri weatherboards, Andrew selected 250mm Garrison bevel-back weatherboards from Claymark. The boards came pre-primed, making them easy to install and paint. The Dulux-trained staff at PlaceMakers helped the couple to choose paint colours and gave good advice on what type of paint to use.
Local company Forsight Builders took great care in completing all the major parts of the renovation. Andrew and Nicola expanded their DIY skills by installing an overlay Strata flooring from Woodland Lifestyle, putting in the Pink Batts, and painting the GIB themselves.
“We had lots of fun completing this job, increased our DIY skills in a number of areas and, I have to say, we got great support from the team at PlaceMakers all the way,” says Andrew.
