Grey Slate Constructions Project 1

This once tired and run-down Californian bungalow within the heart of Aberfeldie has been given the true transformation of a lifetime, today standing as a bright, airy and comfortable family home, while boasting all the benefits of modern living. Paying homage to the home’s charming heritage features, Grey Slate Constructions expertly maintained the abode’s original two front gables, utilising DULUX’s ‘tranquil retreat’ grey paint and ‘vivid white’ paint shades to provide brilliant contrast within the home’s neat façade.

Dado-panelling and Balmoral doors form a beautiful entry way into the space, where homeowners can travel down luxurious Blackbutt timber flooring to reach an enviable open-plan living area. The home’s kitchen brings class to new heights, with crisp white joinery, a gloss white tile splashback from La Monte Tiles and elegant pendant lighting. Meanwhile, a servery window and bar lead out to an expansive alfresco space with poolside views, which promises hours of entertaining in summer.

Quality finishes are truly at the centre of this home restoration, with New York decorative cornice profiles providing an air of understated elegance. Specialising in boutique builds, whether it be new houses, renovations or extensions, Grey Slate Constructions will innovate and adapt to bring your new home to life. This diligent company prides itself on a clear philosophy and vision; to deliver inspired, premium quality builds in a stress-free environment.

Grey Slate Constructions respects the constraints of each individual budget to create innovative designs – collaborating with clients from design all the way through to the finished product. The team checks continually for issues with design, obtain building permits and aims to make the whole process as smooth as possible.

All projects are managed and supervised by the company director Mark Johnson, a qualified carpenter and registered builder. Johnson prides himself on valuing the finer details, ensuring that all projects are completed to the very highest standard. His team of skilled tradespeople are hands-on and are involved with all aspects of the build, including most of the carpentry work.

Everything is carefully chosen in consultation with the client to ensure a premium result on every build. The company’s goal is to surpass its client’s expectations every step of the way, and this philosophy has allowed Grey Slate Constructions to develop an immaculate image for itself within the building industry, including as a proud member of the Master Builders Association
