When it comes to creating more space for a growing family, many Perth homeowners face a familiar dilemma: how to meet evolving lifestyle needs without sacrificing the unique charm of their beloved character homes.
In North Perth, Addstyle rose to this challenge, delivering a stunning that blends timeless character with modern luxury.
Learn how we brought the project to life below and explore how Perth homeowners are reimagining their living spaces with luxury home renovations like a .
Project Objectives and Challenges
The clients, proud owners of a classic North Perth character home, came to us with a clear vision and goals for their renovation:
- More living space for their growing household
- Improved functionality for busy modern lifestyles
- A beautiful, flexible area to entertain guests
- Preserve the heritage of their home
Our team managed the entire process from start to finish. We navigated local council heritage requirements and handled all documentation and approvals. We also coordinated trusted trades to deliver the highest standards on-site.
We addressed the design challenge through a collaborative process in our in-house architectural designer and interior design team, working closely with our clients at every step. Together, we explored design options, shared ideas, and refined selections to ensure each choice honoured the home’s heritage while introducing contemporary comfort.
The Renovation Journey
Let’s take a closer look at the renovation process:
Ground Floor Extension
We began the transformation at ground level, constructing a double brick extension to add meaningful, usable space. The new layout introduced:
- A walk-in scullery that brings order and efficiency to daily life
- An extended dining area that flows effortlessly for large family meals
- A generous rumpus room that becomes the heart of activity, perfect for play, relaxation, or gatherings
We added extra storage throughout to meet the needs of family living and keep every space both beautiful and practical.
Internal Renovations
We upgraded the flow and functionality inside the home, preserving original features like decorative ceilings and timber trims while enhancing them with heritage-respecting materials.
We improved traffic flow and liveability by strategically removing walls and reconfiguring spaces, and we positioned windows and openings to invite more natural light, creating an airy, welcoming atmosphere throughout the original footprint.

The Second Storey Retreat
Our elegant second storey addition stands as a hallmark of this project, purpose-built as a private retreat for the owners. On this new level, we created:
- A luxurious main bedroom suite with a spa-inspired ensuite
- A custom walk-in robe and expansive walk-in linen storage for calm and order
- A dedicated study for modern work-from-home living
- A dramatic double-height void that invites natural light and adds a sense of grandeur to the living areas below
Did you know? Industry sources estimate that homeowners in Perth typically recoup about 65% of their second storey addition cost in increased resale value, making it a smart investment.
The Rooftop Terrace
If the second storey serves as the retreat, the rooftop terrace is the celebration. We created an open-air haven for entertaining that offers:
- Sweeping views of the Perth skyline
- Seamless indoor-outdoor flow for sunset drinks or morning yoga
- An elevated sense of luxury that extends the living space outdoors
With this unique feature, we reimagined urban living and brought a resort-style experience to a family home. The terrace also adds significant value to the property.
Results and Client Feedback
The transformation is remarkable. What was once a charming but limited character home is now a spacious, light-filled residence that balances modern living with heritage style. The family now enjoys:
- Room to grow and spaces that adapt to changing needs
- Dedicated zones for work, rest, and play
- A new way of living that feels elevated yet welcoming
This project is a showcase of what’s possible with a thoughtfully planned luxury home renovation Perth homeowners can be proud of.
