Stage-one of the development of a sustainable township on the site of the former Eynesbury pastoral station includes the refurbishment and conversion of a heritage-listed, two-storey bluestone homestead and adjoining stables and staff residence into a community golf clubhouse, locker room and pro shop.
Buxton Construction assisted the design team with planning of the development, providing assistance on buildability, material selections, programming and cost planning. Due to the strict heritage controls over the site Buxtons were able to work closely with the heritage architect as well as the project architect to ensure that all parties were satisfied with the outcomes.
One of the more challenging aspects for Buxton Construction involves restoring the homestead’s billiard room, which retains classical 19th century paint and wallpaper, to its original condition in collaboration with heritage consultants.
