In April 2022, we began work on a stunning double-storey extension at the rear of this Mitcham home, set on a challenging sloping block with limited backyard access. Designed by the client, a commercial architect, the project features a light-filled kitchen and living area leading to a timber deck and tiered garden.

The design makes smart use of the sloping property with a split-level layout, large steel-framed windows, and angular openings that flood the space with natural light. The project also included renovations to the front of the house.

Despite heavy rain through autumn and winter, our team navigated the tough conditions, completing the demolition, landscaping, and build on schedule. Close collaboration with the client, window, and steel suppliers ensured precision in custom steel framing and window installations, meeting all design specifications without the need for reorders.

Just in time for Christmas, the clients moved into their newly transformed home. Key features include engineered flooring throughout, Blackbutt decking, custom joinery, raked ceilings, and oversized sliding doors.

This project showcases Craft Built Homes’ commitment to high-quality finishes, custom details, and personalised solutions tailored to both the site and the client’s vision.
