“From Small To Spacious: Renovating A 1940s State House For A Growing Family”

The 1940s 3-bedroom state house had begun to feel constrained as the family, blessed with three small yet growing children, sought more space to accommodate their evolving needs. Presented with a straightforward request, we were tasked with elevating their home, making it both larger and better suited for their lifestyle. 

With the limitations of the small site in mind, expanding outward was not an option. Instead, we expanded upward, adding a second storey to incorporate three additional bedrooms, a bathroom, and a dedicated playroom for the kids. Custom storage, cleverly concealed behind sliding doors, neatly organized games and toys. On the lower level, spatial adjustments created cohesion and openness, connecting the kitchen and dining spaces seamlessly. The comprehensive overhaul included new Gib linings, insulated walls, energy-efficient LED lighting, and a ducted climate control system, breathing new life into every facet of the home.
