Filson St - Extension and renovation
Like so many of of clients this client had outgrown her existing family home and needed more rooms, more bathrooms, storage and a connection to the yard and light outside. Like so many homes we extend and renovate this home had a fantastic northern orientation but it had a poorly thought out design and layout that really didn’t take advantage of the sun, light and heat. A simple box extension, new compact laundry, two new bathrooms and open plan living, dining, lounge, study and alfresco area were kept simple and buildable for a maximum value. We’re really chuffed with the result and this home feels warm and cosy year round.
