Carol House | Renovations to Bungalow in Roseville

Situated in the leafy suburb of Roseville, this Lord Street alterations and additions project reimagines a traditional bungalow into a refined, contemporary family home.

The design carefully balances the charm of the original dwelling with a substantial rear addition that introduces a light-filled open plan living, kitchen and dining space. By opening up the home and extending to the rear, the layout now connects seamlessly to the outdoors, creating a highly functional environment for everyday living and entertaining.

A key component of the project involved significant excavation to unlock the full potential of the sloping site. This enabled the integration of a new swimming pool and landscaped outdoor areas, enhancing the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces while maximising usability of the backyard.

From the street, the home retains its classic bungalow character, while the rear reveals a contemporary transformation tailored to modern family life. This project highlights how thoughtful architectural design can revitalise an existing home, enhancing lifestyle, increasing property value, and delivering a timeless result.

For homeowners in Roseville and Sydney’s North Shore, it demonstrates the opportunity to transform a well-located property into a sophisticated and highly liveable home through considered architectural alterations and additions.

Our engaged services extended to preparing the concept design, architectural documentation and project management of the consultancy team for the Development Application and Construction Certificate.
