ROZELLE EXTENSION
Semi-Detached Home Transformed with a Full Rear Two-and-a-Half Level Extension
This Rozelle home extension involved a complete rebuild of the rear section of a semi-detached property, along with a full renovation of the existing home. The project created a modern, multi-level living space with strong indoor-outdoor connections, large open-plan interiors, and elevated views across the surrounding area.
Key Project Details
Location: Rozelle, NSW
Home Era: Traditional semi-detached dwelling
Project Type: Full rear extension & complete home renovation
Builder: Abram Home Improvements
Scope of Works
The renovation included:
-
Full demolition and rebuild of the rear portion of the semi-detached home
-
Construction of a two and a half level extension
-
Structural modifications to integrate the new extension with the existing dwelling
-
Complete internal renovation of the original front section
-
Creation of open-plan kitchen, dining, and living zones
-
Installation of new windows and glazing to maximise light and views
-
Coordination of all trades to ensure structural compliance and high-quality finishes
This project required careful planning to maximise space and light while working within the constraints of a narrow inner-city block.
Client Brief
The clients wanted to modernise and expand their home by:
-
Rebuilding the entire rear of the property across two and a half levels
-
Creating a large open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area
-
Introducing more natural light through large windows and openings
-
Improving indoor-outdoor connection to the backyard and upper levels
The original home was limited in space and did not take advantage of its outlook or site potential.
Structural & Design Considerations
Given the scale of the extension, structural works were a major component of this project.
-
The rear of the home was fully demolished and reconstructed
-
New structural systems were designed to support multiple levels
-
Large openings were introduced to enhance light and outlook
-
Structural integration between old and new sections was engineered for long-term stability
-
All works were completed in accordance with current building standards and regulations
This approach resulted in a contemporary, light-filled home that dramatically increased both space and functionality.
