The Doggies got a win on the board and what a superb Grand Final display they put on for us. The footy season has been completed, and the rain hasn't stopped this Spring with definitely the wettest September I've ever seen. The Spring Carnival is on the way, and Christmas is almost here, but this hasn't stopped us from beginning two new projects in Toorak and Hawthorn this quarter.
Hawthorn is a second storey extension to a stunning 1930's semi detached clinker brick home. The rear two thirds of the home has been demolished to make way for a split level extension. Going down four steps into a light filled Family/Meals room with nice open plan and a view into the Northern entertaining area with swimming pool and deck. Upstairs we have 2 new spacious bedrooms, bathroom and built in robes.
Toorak is a double fronted solid brick period home that we are demolishing the back north eastern quarter of the home, and putting a small 10m2 extension that will create a large entertaining area and kitchen. Once we head upstairs, the second storey will consist of 2 new large bedrooms, a walk-in-robe and ensuite.
With our current projects still on the go we will be at handover stage with Hawthorn about to be completed, Carlton in late October, then Brighton in late November. Our Northcote extension is due for Christmas and we have a few jobs in the pipeline they might appear just before the break.
Our latest feature for TCON Group is our timelapse camera setup on a few of our job sites. You will notice the video link below in Hawthorn and Toorak. Make sure you click on the photo and take a look, it only goes for a minute and you will be amazed at how quickly things happen.
If you are considering a renovation at the moment, then feel free to get in touch with any of my team and we would be happy to provide any guidance that you might need.
Hopefully you all enjoy our newest monthly email, I would appreciate any feedback that might help us make it a more engaging publication.

Another project designed by Adele Bates, Morgan and her husband decided that they would like to bring a family heirloom (Been in the family for over a century!) back to life. A story tale once it is all complete, TCON have been asked to restore all the original features, new Bathroom, Laundry, Kitchen, Living, Herringbone floorboards throughout and some large timber windows to allow all the natural light to enter this Edwardian home. With scheduled completion due at the end of October, the painters are already inside.

We specialise in Architectural extensions and this Spanish mission is no exception to the rule. With humble beginnings and a big vision for her new home, Sarah and her designers have worked hard to come up with something that is both good looking and a functional space. The detail finds itself in every facet of the façade, with its tall Silvertop Ash cladded walls and inside, a vast, modern, light filled room. We’re harnessing natural light everywhere we can, keeping the house open, warm and functional. Stay tuned to see how we harness some of the Spanish heritage features to blend this home into the 21st Century.

Our clients have worked with their designer to open up this Victorian Weatherboard home in a leafy pocket of Northcote. We've added a new main bedroom with WIR, Ensuite for Mum and Dad, along with new timber flooring and joinery to the existing bedrooms. A central Laundry backs on to a new Kitchen, which flows through nicely to the Living room and new Playroom at the back of the property.
We've maximised the light and outlook in to the backyard with classy black Aluminium double glazed Stackers, Sliders, and Fixed panel windows. New Wormy Chestnut Timber floors will transition beautifully in to the existing polished concrete Living room, and accentuate the modern finishes throughout. With frame stage completed, the plaster is being installed today and the outdoor Pergola will be installed early next week. Currently we are all systems go to get our clients back in to their family home for Christmas.
