Home Addition Transformations

Alex and Gianpiero acquired this property with the intention of renovating and selling it. The initial state of the house was uninhabitable, situated in a burgeoning neighborhood.

The renovated design aimed for broad appeal, catering to universal tastes and embracing the typical Australian lifestyle, emphasizing flexible spaces and a strong connection to the outdoors.

The result of the renovation is a spacious, versatile home suitable for a family, offering ample room for guests, entertaining, and private moments.

Adam and Vanessa resided in a fantastic neighborhood but were hesitant to uproot their lives to find a home that ticked all their boxes.

Instead, they decided to stay put and enlisted the expertise of Urban Den Architects to breathe new life into their existing residence.

The comprehensive plan involved a rejuvenation of the entire house, with the exception of structural walls. The result was a welcoming and open Hamptons-style home, thoughtfully designed to meet the evolving needs of their family.

 

Toula and Paul secured a spacious apartment boasting expansive water views. Although they couldn't expand the apartment's size, they had the opportunity to enhance its layout to better suit their needs.

Leveraging the already generous entertaining spaces, they decided to incorporate an additional room. The kitchen underwent an expansion, now featuring an added butler’s pantry for increased functionality.

Furthermore, the couple invested in a comprehensive upgrade of all interior finishes, opting for timeless materials that would maintain enduring aesthetic appeal.

We’ve helped countless homeowners and investors re-design their homes to make them suitable for their evolving needs, and add value to their property.
