Amber and Ron were our typical client. They loved their home, but were increasingly frustrated with the limitations that it had. There was no master suite, the kitchen was cramped with minimal storage and it just wasn’t going to be suitable long-term with three growing kids. They dreamed of a home with more space, where they could relax in a luxurious master suite, cook in a spacious kitchen, and enjoy hosting parties in spaces that seamlessly flowed from inside to out. When we first spoke to them, they were contemplating a home extension to help them achieve their dream, but wanted some time to consider their options. After spending over two years house hunting, Amber and Ron realised something crucial. No new property could offer everything they loved about their current home, the space that they were craving and the location that they wanted to live in. They were frustrated and exhausted by the search, so they decided to stop looking and start transforming their own home.
The truth is, while selling and buying a new property might seem like the easier option, it often comes with sacrifices. To gain that extra bedroom, you might lose the backyard you adore, the spacious kitchen with room for you to hang out with the kids while you’re cooking dinner, or the family bathroom big enough to accommodate a bath. Amber and Ron realised this firsthand.
We jumped on and helped them reimagine their space with an extension that ticked all of their boxes. An internal access garage, a luxurious new master suite, and a stunning laundry made it feel like a brand new home. Inside, we transformed the layout, swapping outdated features for modern ones like a spacious new kitchen, a revitalised family bathroom, and opening up the heart of the home by removing load bearing walls. This created a seamless flow between their indoor and outdoor living areas, with a beautiful in-ground pool to tie everything together. Plus, those hardwood floors they loved? With a little care, they became the standout feature of their new space.
