What’s On The Horizon – December 2021



What’s on the Horizon December 2021

Building projects you’ll love, and love building together – since 1989.



Project of the month

Bellevue Hill residence XI
 

This classic villa in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs was in dire need of a makeover, as well as making off-street parking and internal access a priority for this young family. To the rear, structural works were undertaken to install new steel beams and introduce more light into the ground floor living areas, and at the front contiguous piling completed to hold the house up whilst the front of the property was excavated to street level, and a new garage with green roof built, to allow internal access to the house. The entire home was then completely renovated to bring it in to a new century, but with a timeless design!
 

All of course whilst managing covid-safety, supply chain issues, and a shortage of labour. Thanks to the entire team for their support in bringing this dream into reality.

THANK YOU!!!

It’s the end of another successful year at Horizon. Our 32nd year in a row, and we have all the people that supported us throughout the year, and throughout the years, to thank for it.

2021 has obviously not been without its challenges. Some we expected, others we did not. But more than three decades of realtionships, some great people inside our firm and all around us, and solid systems and our own unique culture have enabled us to not only survive, but thrive!

Sometimes we have to pinch ourselves with the awesome responsibility, faith and trust we are so privileged to be charged with. Whether building from scratch, a major renovation, or just a quick fix-up entails becoming the custodian of a family’s home – a place where a family unit grows, relatives and friends are entertained, and ultimately a place where memories have been and will be made.

We try and make every decision as if it was our own home, because ultimately it is. For us to have a sustainable business, all our stakeholders have to love building as much as we do, not just love what we produce by the end. We simply love building. This drives every decision we make. And we never, ever, take that trust for granted. I could not be prouder of our team – not just for the work they produced in our office, on our sites large and small, and in the homes we upkeep, but for the way that they did it – overcoming adversity with an amazing positive can-do attitude, remarkable resilience, and an unflinching will to always find a way to win.

Once again – thank you all for your support, and we at Horizon are looking forward to working together with you again in 2022 and well beyond!

Wishing you all a safe and relaxing time with friends and family over the holiday season.

Be well.

David.

SOLID RACKS have a suite of stand alone products and modular brackets and racks that allow a custom-designed and adjustable storage system – future-proofing your need to keep surfboards, kayaks, SUPs, bikes, gym equipment and more neat and tidy in your garage, boathouse or gym.

Under Construction

Our Vaucluse residence XVI is well under way, and this staircase, designed by Hare + Klein and Partridge Engineers will be a centrepiece! This has been a very exciting project, not without its challenges in terms of remedial works, covid, access and scale! The whole team, including Sophie Ellen Designs and Myles Baldwin Landscapes have collaborated extremely well, in order to delight our overseas-based clients.
