A few years ago G and I were driving in Berry on the NSW South Coast when we spotted a beautiful old farmhouse. We couldn't resist and reversed back to have a better look. There just happened to be a sign on the front gates (also rather gorgeous - the gates, not the sign) that announced that it was a new build (what?!) by a local building company called Strongbuild.
I love the projects below, and I love the fact that Strongbuild will happily include recycled materials in their projects. The white brick cottage below was built behind an older style mansion in Berry, and includes recycled bricks, timber and stone. Much of the timber inside the cottage was procured from old warehouses and bridges that were built around the same time as the existing old house.
These guys will even build your chook pen and veggie enclosure!

So great!! glad you are feeling better and back to blogging!:)

wow - that is so great. i always wondered how difficult it would be to find builders prepared to work on new builds using recycled materials. i'm so glad to know there's such a great one out there.
