Welcome to our site!

If you have visited us before you will have noticed that this site has undergone its own extensive redevelopment!

Our goal for the site redesign was to be able to bring you quality Property Development, Architecture, Design + Building related information faster and provide more opportunities for you to connect with us in a way convenient for you.

Keys to navigating this site

1. Blog format

Blog articles published chronologically

No doubt you’ve come across many blogs before, but if not, this website may look a bit strange. At its core, a blog is an online journal with each ‘post’ or ‘article’ being a separate entry. Entries are published chronologically with the most recent posts/articles published at the top. The blog platform allows us to publish fresh content to you as effortlessly as possible.

2. Feedback

Feedback via Blog Comments

Find an article interesting but have a question? No problem. The blog platform allows you to comment at the end of each article. Not only does this give us the opportunity to clarify any information we provide, but your questions also help to guide us as to what might make useful topics for future articles. We welcome your feedback on any post we write.

3. Article Categories

Article Categories

You might notice that near the top left hand corner of each article, it is posted ‘IN’ a particular ‘Category’ (much like how books might be sorted in a bookstore). If you ever wanted to view all articles relevant to a Category, you can simply click on the appropriate Article Category link.

At the time of writing, we have defined the following categories of articles:

• Architecture + Design
• Building
• Property Development
• Project Updates
• Quotes

4. Information Pages

Information Pages

Similar to our previous website we still have ’static’ web pages containing information About Us, Images from projects we’re involved in, Awards we have won, Archives of all the articles we have ever written and different ways to Contact Us. Be sure to regularly check back on the ‘Project Images’ page as we will frequently update images from each of our projects.

5. Email Updates

If you like what you have seen so far, but are too busy to keep checking back on our website for new articles, why not subscribe via email? The same articles that are published on our website will then be automatically delivered fresh in your email inbox. Its free!

1. 2008/2009 HIA Award Winner: Surrey Hills Project

Brutal Art Design + Build are the proud recipients of the 2008-2009 HIA CSR Victoria Award in the category of best Renovation $350,000 – $500,000 for our work on our client’s Surrey Hills project.

This award winning home is featured in the Top Homes 2008/2009 Housing Industry Association Awards magazine.

2008/2009 HIA Award Winner: Surrey Hills Project

As you can imagine, the journey to a HIA Award involved a lot of planning and careful coordination between designers and the various trades. Below is a short photo journal of this award winning renovation.

Surrey Hills Project: Before

When the owners of this Surrey Hills home approached us, their original proposal was to knock down and build a new home from scratch.

Surrey Hills Project: Stripped Down to the Shell

After consultation with our architects and designers, our team was able to propose to the owners that a more cost effective and environmentally responsible option was to strip their original home and reuse the shell as the foundation of their new home.

Surrey Hills Project: Rebuilding from the Shell

To save costs and reduce waste from this project, materials from the original house were reused. Additional cost savings were achieved by placing new utility and services points in the same locations as they were in the original.

Surrey Hills Project: After

Our clients are delighted with the award winning result and are continuing their partnership with Brutal Art Design + Build with their latest property venture – a unique two unit development in Cheltenham.
