Living the dream: Why renovate when you can build? Take a drive around any suburb in Brisbane, and you’ll see them: the renovators. Tiny postwar cottages rising up and morphing into the popular “hampton’s style” retreats; that old 70’s red brick disappearing under thick layers of render and grey or beige paint; kitchens and bathrooms and carpets in skip bins on the footpath, tossed out in favour of something more modern, contemporary and fresh. Brisbane home owners love a good reno, upcycling is all the rage – and why spend the money on a new build if, with a little compromise, you can mould an old house into a newer, shinier version of itself?
But what if you don’t want to compromise? There’s something very special about being able to build your dream home. The excitement of choosing each and every aspect, designing the layout around your family and your lifestyle. The thrill of seeing your dream come to life. The satisfaction that comes with completing your very own sanctuary, a place designed just for you and your family to create brand new memories, a place to thrive.
Dream by design. We’re so lucky in Bridgeman Downs, because here we can follow that dream – perfectly placed parcels of land are just begging to be built upon, and families are eager to secure their place in this exclusive community. Private sector house approvals have declined in the last ten years, with popular television shows encouraging us to DIY, making renovation accessible and creating the illusion that it is simpler and cheaper than a new build. Coupled with an influx of units in our city, it’s easy to see why starting from scratch is not in favour. But for those who do choose to buck the trend, it’s all about fulfilling that dream, going one step further than the rest, and creating the kind of perfectly tailored lifestyle that even the best renovation can’t quite achieve.
