Extensions and Renovations
Extending an existing home is often driven by years of lived experience—an understanding of how spaces truly function, where they fall short, and how they could be improved. Whether it is a kitchen and dining area that no longer meets the needs of your household, or living spaces that fail to capture the best available views, these projects are deeply personal. While residential extensions may appear modest in scale, they frequently hold the greatest emotional significance, as they are centred on enhancing the comfort, usability, and enjoyment of a home that already carries strong personal value.
Based in Port Macquarie and servicing the wider Mid North Coast, I work closely with homeowners to ensure their extension responds not only to their lifestyle needs, but also to the unique coastal climate, local character, and planning controls of the region. I place a strong emphasis on listening carefully to your ideas, aspirations, and long-term goals for your home. By understanding how you live day to day, I am able to translate your vision into a considered design outcome that feels intuitive, purposeful, and tailored specifically to you.
Throughout the design process, your extension can be thoughtfully integrated to align seamlessly with the existing architectural character of your home, or alternatively used as an opportunity to reimagine the overall façade and modernise the dwelling as a cohesive whole. These decisions benefit greatly from early and detailed collaboration, where open discussion often leads to innovative design outcomes that may not have been initially considered. Particular care is given to proportion, material selection, natural light, ventilation, and views—key considerations for homes across the Port Macquarie and Mid North Coast region.
From concept design through to council approval, I provide clear professional guidance and manage coordination with external consultants as required, streamlining the design and planning process wherever possible. With experience liaising with local councils and consultants throughout the Mid North Coast, I am able to help fast-track approvals while ensuring full compliance with relevant planning controls. The result is an extension that feels intentional, well-resolved, and thoughtfully integrated—not a tacked-on addition or visual compromise.
If you are considering extending your home in Port Macquarie or the Mid North Coast, I welcome the opportunity to discuss your project and assist in delivering a high-quality, enduring addition that enhances both the liveability and long-term value of your home.
