RESIDENTIAL

Beautiful homes — built by a family, for families.

A family home is where life happens. It’s where your kids learn to walk and talk, where Christmas presents are opened and where memories are made over Sunday lunches.

Second Storey Additions

Picture Perfect – St Ives

With every renovation, it is always important to keep the charm and local aesthetics of a location in mind when designing something new. This second storey addition in St Ives boasts two new bedrooms and a sitting area, keeping in line with the colours and styles that define the St Ives area. Tucked away at the rear of the property rests an open plan kitchen, family, and deck area overlooking the pool.

Best Dressed – Pymble

A new, modern interior draws guests to the heart of the home - the dining and entertaining area, for indoors or outdoors. Soaring ceilings and covered back decks open up and yet protect the places we see our friends and family. Externally, with new roof tiles, rendering, and landscaping, it looks like an entirely new home (and the best on the street).

DESIGN & BUILD

Your home is an extension of you.

This is why our team delights in sharing the design journey of your home with you.

We believe life is better when experiences are shared. At Family Home, our open and collaborative approach to design and construction yields the most optimised and beautiful solutions to your brief. We are with you from the initial design consultation all the way to hand-over, ensuring a seamless, stress free process.

Our Process

Consultation

First things first: we need to meet you and your home. By understanding your vision and working with your home, not against it, this will yield an efficient, yet stunning space. We pride ourselves on developing a working relationship which sets a strong foundation of trust upon which your journey with Family Home is built.

 

Design

It’s not you, it’s your house that needs to change. We like to think of ourselves as architectural mediators, resolving any incompatibilities you’re having with your home. Whether it’s not providing enough space or the layout doesn’t flow, we’ll first listen, then work to resolve these issues carefully and collaboratively.

Proposal

Now, we won’t be getting down on one knee for you. We will, however, present you with a clear vision of how your home will transform, including measured plans and artist impressions, selection of materials, a proposed time frame and firm price. The proposal offers a transparent overview of all the elements of the project so you can make informed decisions moving forward.

Documentation

This is where things start to get real. Over the next 4-5 weeks, we’ll prepare detailed plans, specifications, land surveys, engineering and reports for approval submission. Our end to end service makes this process a breeze – all you have to do is review the documents prior to submission.

Approvals

This can be a tricky part of the project, especially if you don’t have the experience. We liaise with the approval authorities so you don’t have to (It’s the least fun part of our jobs!) We regularly run our online Renovation Workshop via Zoom. We take you through all the aspects of designing and building and offer advice on which approval pathway is likely for your particular project.

Construction Agreement

Once the plans are approved, we draw up the documentation for the construction agreement. We go through the contract with you in detail, letting you know what our responsibilities are and what you need to do to make the construction process a joy.

Construction

There’s nothing quite like seeing what was described in drawings and words become physical form. We share the thrill with you every time we commence on-site. During construction, we keep you informed with weekly meetings along with access to an online platform from which you can make any decisions as they arise. In next to no time, you’ll be making memories in your new space.

Let's Chat

Your needs as a family are unique. That’s why we’ll visit your home and take the time to understand just what they are, before coming up with a quality solution that’s tailor-made for you.

We want to help you to get the most out of your home and your money, giving you the space for life to happen.
