In the heart of Alexandria, Melbourne we had renovated our loving sanctuary of some greater than 20 years, a secret special architecturally designed house and garden amidst the storm of the city. For 30 years, it was a beautiful place of comfort, a haven of shimmering beauty and safety.

As an prestigious architect, my friend had donated to our community with many municipal design proposals, but of these none were more personal and loved that the modern design of the Lawrence Street, Alexandria, Victorian conversion. Featured in the Sydney Morning Herald, it was acclaimed as a masterpiece, weaving Victorian magic with modern elegance.

The Victorian transmutation was a creed to architectural inventiveness—a two-story addition and conversion to a Victorian semi-attached, providing a home for a family and a studio. The premier feature was the light tower, high above the roof with suspended stairway, acquiring the essence of the southeastern and northwestern skies. French sash windows adorned the main bedroom, while timber casement windows decorate in the bathroom welcomed views and filtered light.

However, our idyllic lifestyle was destroyed when our neighbour, a builder, entered the scene next door. Initially welcomed with open arms, his actions soon created absolute chaos threatening the safety of everyone in the area. Without warning, he began demolishing a major supporting wall on our property, the major load-bearing wall of our master bedroom. At one period of time he had setup pipes from his roof diverting water into our office, causing several thousand dollars damage to the upstairs rooms, and undermining the footing of the house.

To compound matters, we through investigation found that the intermediate wall did not meet the legal fire rating, a major oversight that endangered our well-being. In spite of our urgent efforts to seek resolution the problem with the builder and contacting the council, the council said the builder's inspector had already approved on the building renovations, providing no recourse and leaving us vulnerable to fire.

In spite of getting a legal decision in their favour and compensation for the damages incurred, the emotional toll was immeasurable and created many unpleasant memories. They decided to sell their beautiful home, we mourned the loss of our award winning sanctuary, another casualty of government negligence and dangerous construction practices. The lack of proper oversight and appropriate governance by government and local council allowed this tragedy to unfold, highlighting the necessity for more accountability and legal protection for owners.

As we wrestle with the effects of this ordeal, we are left to ponder: What help do homeowners have when their sanctuaries are made vulnerable by the neglect of dodgy construction companies? {https://www.facebook.com/groups/1240633520160302,
