1950's Home Extension

Challenges – 1950’s Charm

Our clients decided to remain living in the house while the work was being completed. While this is often worth it financially, it is also always a challenge. Good communication becomes ten times more important – so that our clients can continue to live with minimal interruptions. And with one of the occupants a night-shift worker, keeping the extension on schedule was a must. 

There is always an unknown element when extending a 1950’s home. You never know what you might find that could add extra cost or time to a project. We were thorough prior to signing the contract and during the design phase so we knew as much about the home as possible. This meant that any ‘surprises’ we received were ones we had expected with a character home.

Outcome – Breathtaking Results

This 1950’s home extension is one of our most dramatic before and afters to date. Stunning interiors and bright open living make it almost unrecognisable. Seeing the clients in their completed space was just a thrill! They’d lived in the house for over 6 years and understood what they needed plus some of the features they wanted to include.

We collaborated with the architectural designer early in the design process, ensuring that the designed extension was buildable and within the clients budget. We communicated well with our clients and finished the build on schedule, resulting in a truely stunning and more spacious 1950’s home.
