Residential Building

Building for life in Reservoir

Reservoir is an established suburb in Melbourne's north with a varied mix of older houses, later additions and newer residential design. Improving one of these homes starts with understanding what is already there, what should be retained and how new work can make the property more useful over time.

Ivory Built provides residential building services for homeowners planning a renovation, extension or architecturally led home. We work with clients and their design teams from early review through construction, bringing practical site knowledge to the decisions that shape scope, sequencing and finish quality.

Our role is to turn clear documentation into carefully coordinated work. That means reviewing existing conditions, planning access and trades, communicating throughout construction and paying close attention to the junctions between old and new.

Local Context

Planning work around the home and site

Reservoir's residential streets contain homes from different periods, construction methods and stages of alteration. Before design is finalised, it is important to understand the existing structure, title information, applicable planning controls, site access and how the proposed work relates to neighbouring properties.

  • Review existing conditions before fixing the construction scope.
  • Coordinate structural, architectural and service documentation early.
  • Confirm the approvals required for the particular property and proposal.
  • Plan deliveries, access and site protection for an established neighbourhood.

Two Rooms, Two Moods

41 Tunaley Parade, Reservoir

At 41 Tunaley Parade, a completed Ivory Built residential project in Reservoir, the laundry and shower room takes a softer direction. Entiva Sacred Stone in Salt meets Minimal Pink wall tile, Coastal Oak Woodmatt joinery and a Buller Stone benchtop, with brushed gold and brass adding warmth.

The bathroom is bolder: Verandi Emerald Green porcelain wraps the floor and walls, balanced by a light green subway feature, curved white vanity, matte grey basin, arched gold mirror and alabaster wall light. Mimi Cove tapware in brushed brass carries through both rooms, giving two distinct palettes a clear visual connection.
