What We Do

FIRST FLOOR ADDITIONS

Expand Up, Not Out

Maximise your living space without sacrificing your backyard by adding a second storey to your home. Ideal for a parent's retreat, additional bedrooms for growing families, or extra office space.

Our custom designs can either ensure your new addition blends seamlessly with your existing house or completely transforms the look of the home - the choice is yours. Many clients take this opportunity to renovate the ground floor simultaneously, enhancing functionality and aesthetics throughout.

GROUND FLOOR EXTENSIONS

More Room, More Possibilities

Extend your living spaces with a ground floor extension, perfect for homes with land available. This option breathes new life into your home, enhancing light and space without the need for stairs. Ideal for older homes with outdated layouts, our designs transform dark, cramped spaces into bright, welcoming living areas that meet the demands of today's lifestyles.

Open plan living spaces with indoor/outdoor flow through large sliding doors, gable roof, sloped ceiling.

INTERNAL RENOVATIONS

Transform Your Existing Spaces

Revitalise the home you love by renovating its existing spaces. From kitchens and bathrooms to laundry rooms, our designs can dramatically improve the functionality and flow of your house. Whether you're looking to modernise outdated designs or optimise space utilisation, we provide tailored solutions that refresh and enhance your home.

GRANNY FLATS

Smart Solutions for Extra Space

A granny flat is a versatile addition that can serve as a rental opportunity, a space for extended family, or a private home office. We specialise in designing granny flats that are not only functional and compliant with local regulations but also perfectly tailored to complement the aesthetics of your existing property and the needs of its occupants.
