Wallpapered Manse

The Wallpapered Manse is arguably the first house to be constructed in the town of Moruya, on the South Coast of NSW. 

​

Smith and Primmer worked closely with Peter Freeman Architects and the heritage houses trust to essentially put back together a house that was in a dilapidated state. During the process of the works, we were all taken on a journey of historical discovery due to the layers upon layers of specifically dated wallpaper. 

​

To achieve the outstanding result, it was required that we employ traditional techniques and source old-school products and items.
