Coronation Road

This project was a full Californian Bungalow restoration completed by Andy, bringing new life to a beautiful old home. The focus was on keeping all the character that makes a Californian Bungalow special - the timber detailing, high ceilings and original features, while quietly updating everything behind the scenes to make it warm, comfortable and practical for modern living. It was a hands-on project with plenty of care taken to get the details right, and the end result feels fresh and functional without losing the home’s original charm.
