Existing first floor in large roof space. Existing upstairs rooms jammed together with no sense. Alterations to add rear wing to blend in with existing architecture and unify the rear of the house whilst extending in a contemporary way. New pop-out kid’s playroom to rear of site. A rumpus room or family playroom is associated with the values of generosity and sharing. Taking the space typically allocated to the master bedroom, the rumpus room can instead enjoy a view, lots of natural light and be tucked away in a more private aspect of the home. As a 'universal space' it has flexible uses eg: sleepovers and office. In this way, the traditional master bedroom space can effectively be 'given back to the house' for the whole family to enjoy.

“Victoria and her team are absolutely fantastic. We have used her for 3 projects (1 major renovation and 2 smaller jobs) and we would not use anyone else. She is stylish, imaginative and original. Most importantly she has worked with us to incorporate our ideas into reality. She is incredibly reliable and always happy to help out, no matter how big or small the issue. To top it all off, she is a great person who is passionate about her profession. I can't speak highly enough of her - I have referred her to a number of our friends and all of them have been delighted with her work, professional approach and positive view on life. During our major renovation (12months), she kept our builder on track and us sane! If you use Victoria and her team, you won't be disappointed.”
