Nestled in the prestigious suburb of Woollahra in Sydney, the historic “Thanet” stands as a testament to the timeless beauty of Arts and Crafts architecture.

Originally designed and built in the United States in 1901, this NSW Heritage-listed timber cottage was shipped to Australia and constructed in 1903. After 120 years, this iconic home required meticulous care and vision to ensure it could meet the demands of modern family living while preserving its historical charm. Enter MILEHAM, a distinguished architectural and project management firm, and ProBuilt Projects, renowned for their construction excellence.
