Case Studies: Home Renovation Ideas and Examples

“When I first met Tim he was somebody who was trustworthy, willing to listen to the ideas that we had. That was one of the attractions with Tim and Mass – was that they can provide that from design to completion.” – Dion, Client / Home Owner

Our clients for this project had a young family that were quickly out growing the family home. The original home was built in the 1970’s with your typical mission brown timber windows and yellow bottle glazing on the front entry door. Tied and run down, in need of a face lift and much more living space Dion and Fab contacted us at Mass Constructions to transform their home into a contemporary family home with open plan and plenty of entertaining space overlooking their large rear yard. Mass Constructions undertook the design work for Dion and Fab’s home offering several design options before settling on this one that they absolutely loved. We worked together tweaking the finer details of the home including detailed kitchen and bathroom designs that suited their interior design ideas. As we progressed through the design process we applied for a planning permit and liaised with the council town planner to obtain approval. From here we moved onto the working drawings and liaised with various consultants to obtain a building permit. At Mass Constructions we offer a smooth design process, we liaise with all the various consultants required for the project so that our clients don’t need to worry about what to do next as we lead the way and do all the work in the background for you. All you need to do is decide on the options we propose to you.

“They really understood the vision that we were trying to get. Everything that he had in mind was a reflection of where we were going.” – Fab, Client / Home Owner

Once the building permit had been issued we were able to commence this epic project. Starting with demolition we stripped back the interior and parts of the exterior back to the frame ready to start the transformation of this home. The home was extended out at the rear and the interior layout was amended plus a double carport to suit the new design. What really made this design work was the floor to ceiling stacker sliding doors and double glazed windows at the rear which not only drew in natural light, it also gave a picturesque view of the perfectly landscaped rear yard for the kids to play in. With a mixture of natural blackbutt timber shiplap and weathertex wall cladding to the alfresco area really made this a statement piece. A colorbond roof for extension and carport tied in well with the contemporary façade that our clients were after. The interior was fitted out with a new designer kitchen with a custom designed island bench that was a little tricky for the stone mason to fabricate but was well worth it in the end as the result was awesome! Tucked to the side of the kitchen was the fully equipped butlers kitchen. From the wide entrance hall you walk into a large expansive kitchen, dining, and lounge area with 3.6m high ceiling. Down the hallway to newly configured bedroom layouts was the new laundry, bathroom and powder rooms. All in all the project ran smoothly from design and through construction, the transformation to the home from the humble 1970’s era to today exceeded our client’s expectations as the possibilities are endless at Mass Constructions.
