Spacemaker Home Extensions

About the winning project

As is often the case with extensions and renovations, the original scope of works evolved and, in this case, the owners decided to undertake a full period refurbishment of the dwelling. The original brief was to retain the front rooms and add an open-plan extension at the rear, along with a kids domain upstairs. Ground floor works consisted of adding a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite to the existing main bedroom, a new kitchen, meals area, family room, powder room, laundry and covered alfresco with outdoor kitchen. The second storey “kids domain” would provide two bedrooms, a sitting room, bathroom and separate water closet. The original front rooms were re-plastered, re-stumping, a new subfloor, reproduction Tasmanian Oak windows and a new entry door installed; the verandah was also originally to remain untouched, however it was in a poor state and was replaced with full respect to period detail.
