Behind the build: Heritage restoration
Explore the story behind the build of a 1900s heritage villa with brothers Hamish and Jed Villis of SA’s Build Theory. They transformed a run-down city house into an award-winning home after a full structural overhaul, open courtyards, and a kitchen that won 2025 HIA Australian Kitchen of the Year. Watch now for stunning before-and-after results.
To have a win, not being in the highest dollar value category, was quite cool because it's sort of goes to show that you don't need to spend a fortune to get a really good result.Build Theory
