Get It Right with Undercover Architect - Your guide to designing, building and renovating your home

Hello! This is Episode 320, and in it, I continue my conversation with Janet, a HOME Method member who is sharing with us the journey that she and her partner have been on to build a new home for themselves and their three children.

In this episode, you’ll hear how Janet, her partner Paul, their building designer, Aaron from Greencoast Design and their builder, Dwain from Hezzelic Homes, dived into their journey together, and how their design came to fruition through this process. 

[For all resources mentioned in this podcast and a free, downloadable PDF transcript, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/319]

It’s a really different design for a new home, so it’ll be great for you to hear how that came about, and then developed over the project’s progress. As a clue, Janet calls it ‘the home with a hole’!

Building a new home on a challenging site, with Janet

Hello! This is Episode 319, and in it, you’re going to meet Janet, who is a HOME Method member building a new home in Brisbane, Queensland. And, it’s a new home with a difference!

Janet, her partner Paul, and their 3 children, have been on their project journey for a few years now. You’ll hear us talk about their timeline in this episode, which started back in 2021. 

[For all resources mentioned in this podcast and a free, downloadable PDF transcript, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/319]

Having renovated before, and knowing they didn’t want to renovate again at their current home, Janet and her partner initially didn’t expect to build new. However, when a block became available near their current home, they decided to dive in.

This is a great conversation about the steps Janet and her partner are taking to make their home a reality, and the learnings, wins and challenges along the way. Janet is fantastic at sharing all the details, so I know you’ll find it super helpful.

Designing a new home with a difference, with Janet

Hello! This is Episode 318, and in it, we continue my conversation with Louise and Zane about beginning the renovation of their Californian Bungalow in Melbourne.

[For all resources mentioned in this podcast and a free, downloadable PDF transcript, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/317]

If you haven’t listened to the first part of this conversation, I encourage you to go back and check out Episode 317. Louise and Zane share background information about who the project is for, their vision for their future home, some of their nerves and concerns about budget, and decisions they’re making about their team. You can find all of that at www.undercoverarchitect.com/317.

This episode begins as we continue discussing Louise and Zane’s expectations about when they want to start construction, and me sharing some challenging feedback about those expectations.

Plus, I also make suggestions about their next steps, and we talk about the best way to begin when you’re exploring whether to go out with an extension or up with a second storey. 

We also discuss whether a builder or designer can have too many projects on the go at once, and I share the best way to shape your approach when first speaking to designers, architects and builders.

Remember, if you’d like to grab a full transcript of this episode, you can find all of that by heading to www.undercoverarchitect.com/318.
