At Family Home Designers & Builders, we believe a family home is where life unfolds—where kids learn to walk, celebrations fill the living room, and cherished memories are made. When a family of four purchased this cosy brick house with a north-facing rear yard, they loved its location and low-maintenance garden. But inside, a dated layout and cramped spaces didn’t suit their changing lifestyle. With just one bathroom, a tiny kitchen lacking a pantry, and bedrooms that felt boxed-in, it was clear the house needed a major transformation.

From Dated & Dark to Spacious & Bright:
A Cosy Brick Home Transformation
From the outside, this cosy brick home had plenty of potential, but inside, time had stood still—until a thoughtful renovation turned its dated, cramped spaces into a light-filled sanctuary.
After
Drawing on over 30 years of experience, our team worked closely with the homeowners to envision and create a space tailor-made for their lifestyle. By working side-by-side with our clients from initial sketches through to the finishing touches, we’ve created a bright, modern residence that truly feels like an extension of who they are.
- We reorganised the ground floor, transforming the old kitchen and laundry into a brand-new study and ensuite, and built a spacious master bedroom, modern open-plan kitchen (with a walk-in pantry), and a bright family area crowned by floor-to-ceiling windows.
- Upstairs, we added a second storey that accommodates a generous study, an additional bedroom with its own ensuite and walk-in robe, and extra storage.
- Now, the family’s adult daughter enjoys a private retreat while welcoming out-of-town guests is effortless thanks to a dedicated guest room and renovated bathroom downstairs.
- The once-dark living room now connects seamlessly to the backyard, where an inviting new deck and built-in spa await weekend barbecues and summer entertaining.
- A fresh external render and new roof tiles give this home a contemporary edge without losing its cozy charm.
