Veil House

Introducing Veil House, located in the leafy streets of Prahran. This project blends bold, contemporary design with the charm of its heritage context, preserving the original street frontage while seamlessly transitioning to a dynamic rear addition. The sculptural, modern extension contrasts with the fine detailing of the heritage façade, meeting the needs of modern living while expressing personal style.

  • We recently completed an extensive renovation of my childhood home with Blueprint Constructions, and we couldn't be happier with the results. The attention to detail and thought that Simon Cerra and his team put into every aspect of the build was simply outstanding.

    We were blessed to have Dave Allanson as our Site Manager whose eye for detail and drive for excellence made our house the home we enjoy today.

    The quality of the craftsmanship exceeded all our expectations, and it’s clear that the Blueprint team takes immense pride in delivering perfection. Dave and Simon listened carefully to our ideas, offered valuable suggestions, and ensured the process ran smoothly from start to finish. They liaised with our Architects, when needed and had an open and clear relationship with them.

    Our home has been transformed into a stunning, functional, and welcoming space that we are absolutely delighted with. Blueprint Constructions has truly brought our vision to life, and we are so grateful for their expertise and dedication.

    We would highly recommend Simon and the team at Blueprint Constructions to anyone looking for a builder who combines skill, creativity, and professionalism. Thank you for making our dream home a reality!

    — Peter & Maria
