Following significant fire damage to the upper level of this 1960s home, the project required a carefully considered approach to restore the property while making the best use of the existing structure.
EPOCH Architecture prepared the architectural documentation required to obtain building consent for the demolition and reconstruction of the damaged upper storey. Wherever practical, the existing foundations were retained, with only those affected by fire or water damage being replaced as required.
Working closely with the project team, the design balanced structural requirements, regulatory compliance, and the opportunity to create a renewed home that respected the original footprint while providing a safe and durable future for the owners.
Although every rebuild presents technical challenges, projects like this require an added level of care, sensitivity, and attention to detail to help transform a damaged property into a home once again.
