Design-Build Home Renovation

Challenges & Objectives

This Upper Beaches renovation began as a straightforward kitchen makeover but quickly evolved into a full ground floor transformation, including the addition of a new powder room. Century homes often come with hidden challenges, and this project was no exception—every detail required precision to bring the home back to life. Despite the obstacles, the results were stunning, and the clients were thrilled with their beautifully updated space.

This project involved navigating the quirks of a century home while delivering a cohesive, modern design:

 

  1. Kitchen Makeover: Update the kitchen with modern finishes and functionality while preserving the charm of the century home.
  2. New Powder Room: Add a much-needed powder room to the ground floor.
  3. Structural and Design Challenges: Resolve issues with uneven floors, misaligned walls, and outdated systems typical of older homes.
  4. Modern Ground Floor: Transform the ground floor into a bright, welcoming space with improved flow and functionality.

 

Our objective was to navigate the challenges of the home’s age and deliver a stunning, functional transformation that suited the clients’ needs.
