Over 18 months, the team has worked across six buildings with a focus on restoring the property while maintaining the character and charm that makes it unique. The client’s vision was clear from the beginning: keep the original details wherever possible and ensure the history of the property remained at the heart of the renovation.
This approach meant looking beyond a typical renovation. Existing materials were carefully restored where possible, while old materials were sourced to match original features when required. From floorboards and wall linings to ceiling boards, every detail was considered to honour the craftsmanship of the original buildings.
For Darrell and Melanie Bowden, projects like Barooga Station showcase the importance of thoughtful building and the skill involved in working with existing structures.
“Barooga Station has been an 18-month long project with 6 buildings to be restored and renovated to its previous beauty,” Darrell explains.
The scale and detail of the project has been a true team effort, with D & M Bowden Construction’s employees, subcontractors and suppliers all contributing to the restoration.
“It has been a privilege to work on so far, all our employees, subbies and suppliers have done a great job and deserve all the credit.”
With Buildings 1 and 6 still being completed and the garage and pool complex now underway, the story of Barooga Station continues to unfold.
For D & M Bowden Construction, this project represents more than restoring buildings, it represents the opportunity to protect the stories, craftsmanship and character that make regional properties truly special.
