In an era where mixed material façades dominate new builds, this Five Dock knockdown rebuild by Casaview Homes stands out with a striking all brick exterior.
Whilst this was a deliberate design choice made to honour and complement the established character of the surrounding streetscape, it also creates instant street appeal, making this home unique.
A Modern Rebuild
The homeowners were ready to upgrade their home, seeking something fresh and modern that aligned more closely with their contemporary lifestyle. They chose Casaview Homes as their builder, not just for craftsmanship, but for a reputation of genuinely caring for clients. This emphasis on quality and personalised service shaped every decision throughout the project.
Why PGH Bricks? Premium Quality and Visual Depth
As a long-term supplier for Casaview Homes, they selected PGH Tourmaline bricks from the Opaline range, a choice driven by years of experience working and trusting CSR’s brands.
The Opaline range offers clean lines, smooth satin finish, and subtle colour variations, all of which create a premium look. The Tourmaline brick’s natural shade undulations and gentle mottling add character and dimension, offering an aesthetic similar to the look of high end dry pressed bricks. The result is a visually rich façade making the home a standout feature along the street.
Enhancing Comfort From the Inside Out
Beyond the façade, comfort and thermal efficiency were key priorities. Casaview Homes installed a combination of Bradford Gold R2.5, R4.1, and R7.0 ceiling batts, alongside Bradford Thermoseal, to ensure exceptional year round performance.
The choice to use a combination insulation solution was essential to ensuring not only compliance with NatHERS requirements but also allowing the home to remain warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
A Home That Blends Heritage Appeal With Modern Liveability
By combining a traditional all PGH brick exterior with high performance Bradford insulation, this Five Dock rebuild successfully merges old world charm with contemporary comfort and quality.
