Squash Courts House was a complete new development, built upon the original Squash Court site in Albury, next to the heritage listed gardens of Adamshurst. The brief for this modern home was to be very low maintenance living whilst also being energy efficient and environmentally friendly with a low carbon footprint. This was achieved through careful design work, considering aspect, solar heat gain, thermal mass and use of materials with low embodied energy. The result is a stunning family residence with a huge ‘Star rating of 8.5’ which well exceeds the minimum standard 5 star rating. Built upon a waffle pod style slab with slab edge insulation, the concrete has been polished to a premium finish called ‘Hiperfloor’ which does not require any finishing sealers over the top. Hydronic radiators and in-slab heating along with ducted r/c cooling and double glazed windows help maintain a consistent temperature year round. Quantum Quartz benchtops complete the built in cabinetry with the striking Blackbutt staircase as the centrepiece to the home. The use of Ledgerstone, and coloured render to the outside create depth and articulation. Hardie deck was used for its low maintenance around the home finished with low maintenance gardens.

Peel House is a luxury 4 bedroom, 3 Bathroom residence constructed over 3 levels. J Wilkinson Constructions was engaged to construct this home in 2016. Challenges during construction began with split level slabs needing separate pours. The lower level combines polished spotted gum floor boards along with polished concrete to remain seamless as well as special aggregates, white cement and white oxides used in the concrete to create a unique effect. Glass bottles recovered during excavation were also carefully placed into the wet concrete for added effects.
Luxurious Hydronic heating, ducted r/c air conditioning, double sided gas fireplace, quality cabinetry with stone Benchtops, triple garage and an amazing outdoor alfresco area by the inground pool just to name a few features, combine to make this boutique home living at its finest..

J.Wilkinson Constructions was approached by our clients wanting us to design and construct this unique home. Working with these amazing clients, their instructions were clear and simple – rustic and raw, old red bricks, good use of space, colourbond cladding, ideally single level, simple yet functional and a view of Albury’s monument.
Fitting a single level three bedroom home with a bikes room and second living area on a 400m2 block took careful planning, as outdoor entertaining was also a priority. We drafted some concepts for discussion and after one meeting were ready to move forward. With a combination of raked and flat ceilings throughout the home, and an exposed brick wall in the living area, the home feels surprisingly larger than its modest street presence. With the clients choice of vibrant colours and fixtures, the finished results were stunning.

“J.Wilkinson Constructions achieved two Merit Awards for Best Custom Home 2015 at the Southern Central MBA Awards and North East Victoria MBA Awards for this unique family residence.”
