Simmons Street Renovation / Extension
A Federation home in central Wagga, mixing period style with modern flair.
Keep the street's memory. Give the family the house they need.
Brindabella is a 100-year-old heritage property in central Wagga Wagga. We kept the front façade exactly as the street knows it, and added a rear extension built to complement the original frontage rather than compete with it.
Inside, the home became a four-bedroom family house with an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space opening onto a rear deck.
The extension maintains the flow of the original cottage — the fireplaces, mantles, pressed metal ceilings and original period pieces were all restored — while the new work is unapologetically neoclassical.
