“Thanet”, a NSW Heritage listed home (b.1903), built in a melded Federation / Arts and Crafts style, had reached the point in her 120 year life where she needed the right custodian to help her achieve her next 100 years.
The home underwent a careful heritage restoration, internal renovation and new extension, to transform her into a home which supports the demands of today’s family living, whilst maintaining the original charm and heritage significance of the property.

It was January 2017 when architect James Pilcher and his wife Alice moved into their first family home in the Sydney suburb of Lane Cove. Alice was pregnant with the couple’s first child and they had plans to update the solid yet tired California Bungalow into something much more liveable for their growing family.
Over the course of four years, the couple undertook two separate renovations (one cosmetic and one structural) while adding three babies and a Labrador puppy into the mix. What a ride!

In The Cove has seen many renovations and knockdown rebuilds around Lane Cove, and one of the things that has struck us is how much longer a build seems to take when a construction company is used that has multiple builds on the go at the one time.
You need someone on your side who will help you navigate the renovation / new build labyrinth. This is where James Pilcher and the MILEHAM team can help you.
