2020 National Winner Seamless from old to new, the transformation of this 1920s bungalow has been extensive, yet has retained the home’s charming character. The family home’s existing rear entry and washhouse area were demolished to make way for the 42sqm extension and 50sqm of new timber decking. The addition contains a large second living room, which opens out to the generous deck through timber bi-fold doors to create excellent indoor-outdoor flow. To the side of the living room is a new rear entry. This space contains a laundry, washroom, toilet, and service cupboard containing the updated radiator heating units. Outdoors, the pitched roofline continues past the extension to create an all-weather outdoor entertainment space, where skylights maintain natural light in the living area. Character elements from the 1920s, such as antique lighting and wooden ceiling beams, have been purposely used in this space. Exceptional workmanship and attention to detail in this renovation have kept the home true to its heritage.

“We have much pleasure in recommending Alteration Specialists for any building or alteration work. The alterations done to our property are exactly what we asked for and we are thrilled with the results. Managing Director Justin Green was prompt in providing us with a quote and plan for our kitchen and bathroom alterations. He listened to our ideas whilst making helpful suggestions. He was consistently reliable, approachable, professional and was always prompt in responding to our questions! Much care was taken on our property and we were always contacted and consulted over any problems that arose and these were always taken care of professionally. The team of builders/tradespeople we had working on our property were great – friendly, professional and we always felt they were striving to do the best for us. Alteration Specialists take much pride in their work and this can be seen in the quality of finish. They only work with skilled tradespeople so our tiling and paintwork etc are of a very high standard. We have no hesitation in recommending them and would definitely use them again! Thanks Justin.”
