Our Home Extension Services
Single-Storey Extensions for Enhanced Living
Single-storey extensions offer an efficient way to add valuable living space without the complexity of multi-level construction. These ground-floor additions work beautifully for Glen Iris homes, creating flowing connections between indoor and outdoor areas.
Popular single-storey extension options include expanded kitchen and dining areas, additional bedrooms with ensuites, home offices, or dedicated entertainment spaces. We design these extensions to capture natural light whilst maintaining privacy and harmony with your existing home.
The construction process is typically less disruptive than double-storey builds, and costs are generally more manageable. However, every project receives the same attention to premium materials, refined finishes, and architectural cohesion that defines our work.
Double-Storey Extensions for Maximum Impact
When you need substantial additional space but land is limited, a double-storey extension provides the perfect solution. These sophisticated additions can dramatically transform your Glen Iris home, adding multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas, or even a private parent's retreat.
Double-storey extensions require careful architectural planning to ensure structural integrity, aesthetic harmony, and compliance with local regulations. We work closely with you to design extensions that feel like an original part of your home rather than an obvious addition.
These projects allow you to maximise your property's potential without relocating. The investment typically delivers strong returns, particularly in Glen Iris where established properties with generous proportions command premium prices.

Planning Your Glen Iris Home Extension
Successful home extensions begin with thorough planning. In Glen Iris, several important factors influence the design and approval process for your extension project.
Understanding Local Planning Requirements
Glen Iris falls under the Boroondara City Council jurisdiction, which has specific planning overlays and requirements. Many properties in the area have heritage overlays or are located in neighbourhood character precincts, which can influence design decisions. We have extensive experience navigating these requirements and work closely with council planners to ensure your extension meets all necessary criteria.
Most home extensions require a building permit at minimum, whilst larger projects or those in heritage areas may need planning permits as well. Our team manages this entire process, preparing comprehensive documentation and liaising with authorities on your behalf.
Maximising Your Investment
A well-designed home extension represents a significant investment in your property's value and your quality of life. In Glen Iris, where property values remain strong, a thoughtfully executed extension typically delivers excellent returns.
We focus on creating extensions that add genuine functional value whilst enhancing your home's architectural appeal. Open-plan living areas, additional bathrooms, and luxurious master suites tend to offer the strongest returns, particularly when finished to a high standard with premium materials and fixtures.
Timeline Considerations
Home extension projects typically take between three to six months from initial design through to completion, depending on scale and complexity. This includes time for design development, permit approvals, and construction.
Double-storey extensions generally require longer construction periods than single-storey additions. We provide detailed project timelines during the planning phase and maintain clear communication throughout, ensuring you always know what to expect.
