Mosman House

Architect Testimonial

Vaughan Architects is currently using BIC Construction for a complex and full renovation of a 1950’s home in Mosman, which incorporates a contemporary rear addition and basement garage built on the boundary.

We couldn’t be happier with our choice of builder. BIC has been extremely professional and well organised from the outset, providing detailed cost break downs, construction programs and invaluable advice pre-construction. The work by BIC, both on site and from their back office team, as well as their sub-contractors, has been of the highest standard.

Most importantly, communication has been excellent. Every detail is executed as planned with precision, with value-add based on their wealth of knowledge and experience. Everyone we have worked with at BIC has been helpful and pleasant which is representative of the company’s strong customer and work ethos. Building a house is stressful but it is much easier when the work is done in the form of a partnership with builders that you like and trust. We would highly recommend BIC!

Project Overview

This project is a carefully executed extension and major renovation of a traditional Mosman home, balancing heritage character with a refined contemporary addition.

The transition between old and new is handled with subtlety, allowing the original fabric to remain clearly expressed while introducing a calm, cohesive modern layer. Materiality is considered with intent as textured limestone tiles complement timber herringbone floors to create natural continuity across the home.

The new extension opens into a generous living space shaped by exposed Spotted Gum hardwood beams, extending seamlessly from interior to alfresco. Large openings strengthen the connection to the outdoors, while a floor-to-ceiling rendered fireplace anchors the space with understated presence.

Crafted details are evident throughout. A 12mm rolled plate steel balustrade introduces a precise, sculptural edge to the staircase. The kitchen is articulated in honed leathered granite benchtops and walnut cabinetry, delivering depth with restraint.

A home grounded in clarity of design and material integrity, built to the highest standard delivered through detailed construction, close collaboration with architect and client, and a commitment to bespoke craftsmanship that realises the design intent.
