Luke Constructions has been featured in Sanctuary Magazine, promoting Australia’s leading environmental homes and sustainable living with style.
When this home in Collaroy on Sydney’s northern beaches wore a “For Sale” sign three years ago, most potential buyers saw the PVC cladding and nondescript facade and opted to move on. But Richard Luke, a builder by profession, saw its potential.
“It appeared enchanting but in need of some TLC,” says Richard. “The add-ons were all badly done but I could see that the original building was sound.”
The house had been with one family for over 50 years and the owners were reassured when the Lukes – Richard, wife Sarah, and three young boys – said their aim was to restore the home to its former glory.
