The brief

The owners wanted a new double-storey family home with a genuinely classical street presence rather than the standard project-home facade — arched windows, columns, a domed parapet and layered moulding, delivered without the cost blow-outs that usually come with bespoke render detailing.

HRE Built took the project from siting and design through permits and construction. The facade was set out in-house so every belt course, cornice and window arch aligns across both levels, and the render detail was built as part of the structure rather than added on at the end.

Scope of works

  • Double-storey custom home construction
  • French provincial facade with custom belt moulding
  • Fluted columns with Corinthian capitals to the portico
  • Rendered arched window heads and balustraded parapet
  • Domed parapet feature over the entry
  • Wrought iron Juliet balconies to first-floor windows
  • Rendered and painted external finish throughout
  • Site management, waste, fencing and neighbour access control

Challenges we solved

Aligning moulding across two levels
The belt moulding, cornice and window arches all had to line through from the portico to the outer wings. We set out the facade before the render trades started, so every course lands where the drawing says it does.
Classical detail on a modern build program
Columns, capitals and the domed parapet were sequenced with the structure rather than treated as finishing work, keeping the facade on the critical path instead of holding up handover.
Working a tight suburban block
Bin, portaloo, temporary fencing and material deliveries were staged so the footpath and neighbouring driveways stayed clear for the duration of the build.

FAQs

Questions about the 2 Annabelle Blvd build

What style is the 2 Annabelle Blvd home?

It is a French provincial custom home: rendered facade with custom belt moulding, arched window heads, fluted columns with Corinthian capitals, a domed parapet and wrought iron Juliet balconies.

Yes. We detail and build custom facades — French provincial, Hamptons, Georgian and contemporary — across metropolitan Melbourne. Book a free consultation and we will confirm what suits your block, budget and overlays.
It adds cost compared with a flat rendered facade, but the difference is far smaller when the detail is set out and sequenced with the structure. We price it as a fixed line item so you can see exactly what the facade adds.
