Glebe House is Finalist for the Master Builders Excellence in Housing award for 2023

Originally built as a Merchants Home in 1875, this Heritage listed house has had several incarnations. Originally as a grand home, then a boarding house, and more recently a halfway home for psychiatric patients, with a timber Yurt in the backyard as an additional treatment room. In the early 1990’s it was returned to a single home, however the quality of the finishes and fittings was not befitting such a beautiful old home.

Underlying the many challenges faced during this project was the many diverse types of construction, both traditional and contemporary that were called for, as well as other challenges due to the location and latent conditions.
