Two-story residential house in Sydney with a lush garden and outdoor patio area.

Whether you need an extra level, more room at the rear or a better layout within your existing home, Wal Robbins can discuss additions, extensions, alterations and renovations across Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs.

Projects may range from a standalone room renovation to a broader home improvement. The starting point is the way your household uses the home and the space you need to create.

Options for an Eastern Suburbs home

A first-floor addition may provide additional rooms while retaining more outdoor space. A ground-floor extension can create room for a kitchen, dining or living area. A home alteration can rework the existing layout where that is the better fit.

We can also discuss standalone kitchen renovations and bathroom renovations, as well as design enquiries and projects with existing plans.

Planning around established homes

Eastern Suburbs properties include different housing styles and site conditions. The width and shape of the block, access to the rear, existing structure, privacy, natural light and outdoor space can all influence the design.

Some properties may be subject to heritage, conservation or foreshore controls. The applicable rules depend on the address and proposal. For properties in its area, Randwick City Council’s alterations and additions guidance explains some of the matters to check. For other addresses, consult the relevant council.

Use your existing plans or start with a brief

Bring any drawings you have, or start by listing the rooms and changes you need. Our home design service can be discussed on its own or alongside a construction project.
