Alterations and Additions

We are experienced in transforming existing buildings to meet modern needs while respecting their original value and character. Our work includes small alterations through to extensions, seismic strengthening, and comprehensive refurbishments that breathe new life into aging structures. We focus on thoughtful, efficient interventions introducing contemporary solutions for functionality, safety, and sustainability.

​

Working closely with owners and specialists, we navigate complex constraints—budget, compliance, heritage, and staging—while ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing use. The result is revitalised buildings that are safer, more functional, and better aligned with future needs, all without losing the qualities that make them worth keeping.

  • Our experience with home alterations spans everything from small updates to kitchens and bathrooms to more significant transformations. We handle changes to windows and cladding, the addition of rooms, balconies, and shading, as well as large-scale extensions and landscaping. Every project—regardless of size—receives the same level of care, design consideration, and attention to detail as our larger architectural works. Our goal is to enhance your home’s functionality and aesthetic while respecting its character and your vision.
