Our Canterbury Projects Canterbury Renovation As experienced custom home builders in Canterbury, our professional team recently completed the Glenore project. A stunning transformation finished in April 2025. This build was a perfect example of how thoughtful home renovations and house extensions can breathe new life into an existing period home, blending character with modern living. Ground Floor Extension – Creating Functional & Stylish Spaces The ground floor was expanded to feature a generous open-plan living and dining area, a beautifully appointed kitchen with butler’s pantry, and a laundry with a separate powder room. Two large bi-fold door units connect the living and kitchen spaces to a full-length rear deck, creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor entertaining areas. First Floor Addition – Modern Design Meets Period Charm The first floor addition was finished with James Hardie Axon cladding, delivering a contemporary aesthetic with clean, defined lines. This level features two spacious bedrooms with integrated wardrobes [...]

Our Dulwich Hill Projects Dulwich Hill Extension & First Floor Addition Tucked away in Sydney's Inner West, this Dulwich Hill project involved the transformation of a modest weatherboard cottage into a warm, contemporary family home through a carefully executed ground floor extension and first floor addition. The brief called for significantly more open-plan living space and two additional bedrooms and bathrooms to improve functionality, while maintaining the charm and character of the original dwelling. Ground Floor Extension – Overcoming ChallengesThe project came with a number of logistical challenges, most notably, restricted site access and sloped terrain. With the front of the property only offering a single narrow side passage, all excavation and material removal was meticulously planned via a rear dunny lane, requiring close coordination with neighbours and trades. Once excavation was complete, a series of engineered retaining walls were constructed to stabilise ground levels both to protect adjacent properties and to form foundation for the landscaped yard. These early stages laid the groundwork for a safe and solid [...]

Our Gymea Projects Gymea First Floor Addition This first floor addition in Gymea was designed to be fully self-contained, incorporating two generous bedrooms, two bathrooms (including a private ensuite), a full kitchen, and a functional laundry. The layout provides privacy, comfort, and a seamless integration with the existing home.
