Single-Storey Extensions for Canterbury Homes
Single-storey extensions offer a practical solution for expanding your ground-floor living areas without altering your home's roofline or street presence. Perfect for creating open-plan kitchen and dining zones, additional bedrooms, home offices, or luxurious master suites.
Our designs prioritise natural light through carefully positioned windows, skylights, and bi-fold doors that connect indoor and outdoor spaces. We ensure seamless integration with your existing floor plan, matching materials, and creating transitions that feel natural rather than added.
Single-storey additions typically require less structural intervention, making them more straightforward from a council approval perspective. However, we still navigate every planning requirement with precision, ensuring your extension meets all building codes and heritage considerations specific to Canterbury.
Double-Storey Extensions: Maximise Your Property
When land is at a premium, double-storey extensions provide the ultimate solution for growing families. By building upwards, you can double your additional space whilst preserving valuable garden areas and outdoor entertaining zones.
These extensions are ideal for adding multiple bedrooms upstairs whilst expanding living areas on the ground floor. We carefully consider structural requirements, ensuring your existing home can support the additional load or implementing necessary reinforcement works.
Our designs balance practicality with aesthetics, creating upper-level retreats with stunning views across Canterbury's leafy streetscapes. From luxury bathrooms to private balconies and study nooks, we maximise every square metre of your new space.
We also manage the complexities of double-storey planning permits, height restrictions, and neighbour consultation to ensure your project proceeds smoothly from concept to completion.

About Canterbury: A Premier Melbourne Suburb
Located approximately 10 kilometres east of Melbourne's CBD, Canterbury represents one of the city's most prestigious and tightly held residential suburbs. Part of the Boroondara local government area, Canterbury is characterised by tree-lined streets, heritage homes, and a strong sense of community.
The suburb's demographics reflect affluence and stability, with a median household income significantly above Melbourne's average. Canterbury attracts established professionals, business owners, and families who value quality education, with proximity to prestigious schools including Canterbury Girls Secondary College, Canterbury Primary School, and nearby private institutions.
The area's architectural character spans Federation, Edwardian, and Californian Bungalow styles through to contemporary luxury residences. Many properties feature generous garden settings on substantial blocks, making them ideal candidates for thoughtful extensions that enhance living space whilst preserving leafy surroundings.
Canterbury's property market consistently demonstrates strong growth, with median house prices reflecting the suburb's desirability. The combination of excellent schools, convenient transport links via Canterbury railway station, vibrant shopping precincts along Maling Road and Burke Road, and beautiful parks creates enduring appeal.
Residents value the suburb's village atmosphere, with established gardens, mature street trees, and well-maintained properties contributing to neighbourhood character. This commitment to quality and heritage preservation makes Canterbury an ideal location for premium renovation projects that respect existing character whilst delivering contemporary luxury.
The suburb's demographics skew towards established families and professionals aged 35-55, with high levels of home ownership and long-term residency. This stability supports property values and creates strong community connections, making home extensions a popular choice for families choosing to renovate rather than relocate.
