If you need some more space in your home there are generally two options; either extend or build a first floor addition.

Ground floor extensions are ideal if you have the space to extend outwards and are generally cheaper to build. They are also a better option for older people because there are no stairs to negotiate.

You can also create a balance between outdoor and indoor entertaining spaces. Extensions also allow you to open up your home and are great for adding bedrooms, a master bedroom suite, bathroom, and working from home areas.

There are two paths you can take when extending your home. Either choosing contrasting and complimentary style, or design the new rooms to match the existing style. Making it look like it’s always been part of the original home. First floor additions are a great option if you have limited space and are a common renovation for people looking to add large new living spaces to their home.

These generally are a better option for smaller residential blocks and great to capture the breeze or gains views that an extension won’t achieve. They are the most effective way to give your home a lot more space.
