7/11 As an award-winning master builder and director of ModLine Building, it was the ideal project for Mr Iggleden and his wife. “It was a really run down garage,” Ms Maddern said, “that’s all it was”. “We looked at it and said: ‘Wow we can really make something of this’ and it was perfect for us as it already had DA approval.”

9/11 Ms Maddern said the freestanding three-level home with an internal garage was a talking point with visitors and guests. “They walk in and they are amazed,’’ she said. “It’s has the character of a normal terrace but it’s more like a New York style terrace inside. “We have really made the garage into something special.’’
