Renovation Project Overview

Summit Renovations recently completed a two-storey addition to a home in Hillarys, enhancing the living space for Troy and his growing family. The project included the construction of an upper floor, featuring two new bedrooms for the children, an additional bathroom, and a spacious kids’ living/playroom area. The extension not only provided ample space for the family to grow but also offered beautiful views of the surrounding suburb. The addition was designed to seamlessly integrate with the existing home, both in terms of layout and aesthetic, making it appear as though the second storey had always been part of the original structure.

Renovation Project Goals

The main goal of the renovation was to create additional living space for the family, accommodating the growing children and their need for separate rooms and an activity space. Troy sought a design that would maintain the warmth and charm of their home while adding the functionality of extra bedrooms, a bathroom, and a playroom. The extension needed to provide a sense of independence for the children, with each child enjoying their own bedroom while having a shared space for play and relaxation. Another priority was ensuring that the design and finishes of the addition aligned with the original character of the home.

Design & Development Process

Summit Renovations Senior Designer, Charlie Haddad, worked closely with the homeowners to create a design that would meet their needs while preserving the integrity of the existing home. The two-storey addition was thoughtfully designed to mirror the original architecture, with attention to detail in every aspect of the build. The standout feature of the addition was the custom wooden staircase, which not only added elegance but also provided a seamless connection between the new and existing floors.

The design process was collaborative, with regular consultations to ensure the final plan met the family’s needs. Using the latest walk-thru Bimx technology the homeowners were able to walk through their new second-storey prior to committing to the project. Once the design was finalised, Summit Renovations navigated the approval and construction phases, ensuring the project stayed on track and within budget.

Conclusion

The two-storey addition in Hillarys proved to be the perfect solution for Troy and his family’s need for more space. The seamless integration of the new floor with the existing home allowed for the expansion of living areas without disrupting the flow or aesthetic of the original structure. The addition provided the family with separate spaces for the children to grow, all while maintaining the beauty and character of their beloved home. With a thoughtful design and quality finishes, Summit Renovations was able to create a space that worked both functionally and aesthetically, making the home ideal for the family’s evolving needs.
