Dettmann Homes are proud to have built this highly detailed traditional farmhouse. The project bought the opportunity for their carpentry and handcrafting skills to shine. The level of detail throughout this home is enormous. The windows and doors alone are incredibly fine in their detail and rigour. The same craftsmanship was applied to the linings of the extensive verandas; all finished using precise mouldings, strappings and mitring. The home utilised traditional materials - painted weatherboards, handcrafted timber windows and doors, articulated panelling, mouldings, trims and features. The interior welcomes colour, rich patterns and aged materials. As a result, this home carries a sensibility and elegant character that will stand the test of time.
The third and final stage of the Castlemaine Secondary College re-development comprised a new administration building, artisan’s precinct and extension to the performance zone. Major activities, pre-planning, and seamless execution of works saw the re-development of the administration area. Underlying network connections, along with the re-running and upgrading of essential services, while all the time providing the school with ongoing facilities and connections, was the benchmark for this re-development. Together as a collective, with carefully orchestrated handovers between stages and managers, the buildings were completed with great skill and on time.
The works for this residential build involved the construction of a new formal living and dining area, entry, mud room, entry room and garage enclosure. The existing home had a roofed area that was built in entirely and re-sheeted with new roof sheets. A completely new extension for the entry/mud room was built and enclosed to add an additional floor and roofed area to the existing premises. All carpentry was stick built and tied into the existing home.
This project is an extension and renovation to a 1930’s weatherboard California Bungalow with a heritage overlay area. The existing rear skillion extension was removed to allow l for a new modern extension. Structural steel works and timber framing were installed to create the 3.4-metre-high ceilings and installation of full-height glass doors and windows. Hardwood floor boards were recycled from existing bedrooms and re-laid in the renovated and extended hallway. The full-height stacker doors disappear into the wall cavity to provide seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining.
Once a classic 1960s bungalow, the property has undergone a full renovation to create a contemporary and unique home. The original home’s footprint remains, transformed into a generous master bedroom with a dressing room and ensuite, a parent’s retreat and a large laundry and mudroom. Beyond, a new insulated suspended concrete slab has been poured to create an expansive, open living space with a kitchen, dining and study, two additional bedrooms, family bathroom, powder room, sitting room with a private courtyard and separate entry, and a large garage, extensive landscaped gardens and an impressive, above ground concrete free-form pool.
A smartly designed three-bedroom home, open-plan living and attached oversized garage with storage area was built to maximise the use of a small corner block. The master suite consists of large double-glazed sliding doors to access the garden to the north, allowing the room to be sun-drenched in the winter and with an extension to the roofline to create a portico for protection from the summer sun. A well-appointed kitchen and dining area showcases the clients’ love of contemporary design featuring an on-trend colour scheme. Slightly offset is the lounge area giving a sense of separation from the dining.
This two-bedroom townhouse exudes style and sophistication and is an example of executive inner city living, radiating comfort, luxury and an exclusive locale.

For the entertainer, it also has an enormous walk-in pantry with plenty of shelving and storage.
This family home was designed and constructed with a growing family in mind. The home has a cohesive blend of traditional and contemporary features, and an underlying penchant for entertaining became apparent. The home included a children’s wing with a rumpus room, a grand entrance leading through to an open-plan living space, a generous kitchen with a butler’s pantry and a parent’s retreat. Most importantly was the grand outdoor room for the client’s love of indoor/outdoor living. The block of land had a great north/easterly orientation, and the home was designed to take full advantage of this.

The interior boasts classic American Oak solid timber flooring, oversized custom doors, a soaring void, and a staircase featuring intricate curve details in the entry. The master suite overlooks the custom pool, home office and a central open-plan kitchen, dining and living space occupy the ground floor.

The curved marble detail leads to three expansive bedrooms with private ensuites, custom wardrobes, and an additional bathroom.
An elegant country homestead, timeless and graceful in its placement and design. The owners’ background in the United Kingdom brought references to English farmhouses and country aesthetics which were incorporated into the ‘Australian farmhouse’ style. The resulting design was an articulated L shape home that allowed for considered connection and views to the gardens. The home was wrapped in graceful verandas which were elevated above the existing ground to form a ‘skirt’ of recycled brickwork and travertine paving.
The 10 townhouses were designed to maximise the narrow, deep blocks and to reduce any inefficient side yard. The outcome of the two designs offered varying benefits, both with useable, direct access to the private rear space from the alfresco area. Both floorplans feature three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a spacious laundry with plenty of storage, and an open-plan living space benefiting from crossflow ventilation and giving a light-filled space. Polished concrete floors feature throughout the central living spaces. A well-appointed, contemporary kitchen showcases the Nikpol anti-fingerprint laminate, concrete-inspired stone benchtops and a walk-in pantry.
Over three stages of relocation, demolition and re-establishment, the final piece in the re-development of Castlemaine Secondary College, being a new administration building, artisan’s precinct and extension to the performance zone. Extensive external landscaping was completed within the package, majority comprising of hard elements, access stairs and ramps and terraces to help occupants navigate through the sloped terrain. The construction area enveloped the inner working areas of the school, and great care was taken to ensure the existing services and programs offered were unimpeded by our daily activities.
