FIRST FLOOR ADDITIONS MELBOURNE

Tony and Alishia needed more space to give more room to their three boys with another on the way. They had used Attic Group previously and were very happy with the work, so it was logical for them to call us again. Attic Group designed and built the first floor addition with two new queen-sized bedrooms, a modern bathroom and a TV room filled with natural light from a skylight over the stairs. 

Pat and Sam had already used up the available footprint and wanting more space they needed to go up. A major constraint was how to accommodate the staircase without losing too much space. Our solution was an innovative curved staircase to a new master bedroom with ensuite and lots of wardrobe space plus a new home office/retreat.

Anna and Shane dreamt of a second story to give more room to their two teenage boys. The extension had to honour the existing neighbourhood streetscape, while offering a modern and comfortable interior. Our architect designed first floor addition comprises a light filled staircase to a new queen-sized bedroom, a modern bathroom, and a large rumpus/theatre room.

Young Family Moves Up

Yvette and Josh found themselves struggling to juggle their new family in the space available in their period home. They wanted an affordable extension that provided space that continued to suit as the children grow up. The additional first floor was accommodated in a style matching the existing home and in harmony with the streets cape.

Period Charm, Modern Glamour

Matty and Tom’s house was dark and cramped. Downstairs, a new open-plan kitchen, meals and family area provides gracious living with modern style. Upstairs comprises two generous bedrooms, a bathroom, lounge and study, as well as an additional large walk-in wardrobe.

Plenty of room to grow in Hawthorn

Louise and Qiang are a professional couple both working from commercial premises and from home. To that effect they have a couple of offices in their house taking up valuable space their growing family needed to use. Typical small rooms at the rear of their period home left the children with cramped bedrooms and without an indoor play area.

Let There be Light (and Space)

Kerin and Tom wanted more space for their growing children, a work room a music room and office. Clever reconfiguration of downstairs, along with a new upstairs affords the family with a spacious lounge and dining area, along with a modern bathroom and laundry, and two new bedrooms and bathroom upstairs, all bathed in natural light.

California Bungalow Reimagined

Alison and Daniel needed to extend their period home to more comfortably accommodate their growing family. Extending both upwards and to the rear they favoured retaining the California Bungalow style and sensibility rather than adopting a more modernist and contrasting style.

Our clients in Croydon live in a small unit within a larger complex. With only a minor difference to the top and back of the unit and a lot more room inside for their growing family, the first-floor addition was entrusted to Attic Group. A new carpeted stairwell leads to a new children’s bedroom, a compact bathroom, and a large rumpus room. All with a thoroughly lived in family feel!

Semi-detached Grows Up

Jane and Barry and their two children shared a compact semi-detached with space at a premium. The reconfigured ground floor now contains a larger lounge room, new dining room, a study area and a refurbished kitchen and laundry. Upstairs accommodates a second lounge/study, two bedrooms and a second bathroom.
