This award-winning project involved the conversion of the heritage ‘Newstead’ building and surrounds, which was most recently a lawn bowls club, into a compliant childcare facility.
Renascent provided value engineering including solutions about how existing heritage elements could be retained and built into this major refurbishment.
Identifying structural issues early and working closely with consultants mitigated risks associated with important structural works.
The lovely building exterior was renewed through the restoration of heritage elements such as verandahs, skirting and windows.
A highlight of the project was a skylight/atrium that was uncovered early in the project, which was reinstated to its full potential and made compliant with building codes.
The client, stakeholders and local community are delighted with the results.
The project won a 2022 Master Builders Association Award for Restoration of an Historic Building.
