Home Extensions Perth
A home extension is a construction project that involves adding an additional section to an existing house, increasing its floor size and living space. Home extensions can be built on the ground floor or as a second-storey addition, and can be designed to match the existing style and architecture of the property. The primary purpose of a home extension is to provide more space for a growing family, improve the functionality of the home, and enhance its aesthetic appeal. With Perth home extensions by Addstyle, you can achieve a seamless transformation that perfectly meets your needs.
From design services including an in-house architect, through shire approvals and interior design consultancy at our dedicated Claremont design studio, through to construction by Perth’s most awarded renovation-specialist building team, Addstyle has every aspect of your project covered.

By understanding the basics of home extensions, you can make informed decisions about how to best expand and enhance your existing house to meet your needs and lifestyle.
Why a Home Extension is the Perfect Solution to Keep Loving Where You Live
If you love where you live but your home no longer suits your needs, a home extension can provide you the space and design-features you’re looking for to meet your requirements. Improving your home through an extension is often a smart investment, as it can enhance both functionality and property value.
A ground floor extension can be particularly beneficial for families needing more space without the disruption of moving to a new home.
Whether you need added bedrooms, bathrooms or living spaces, a garage, pool house or alfresco area, Addstyle can provide the ideal solution to meet your needs and budget. Home extensions may include entirely new rooms such as bedrooms, offices or hobby rooms. A home extension can allow a property to go from a two-bedroom, one-bathroom to a three-bedroom, two-bathroom layout, significantly improving its utility.
Home extensions in Perth can transform your home to meet your needs, all without the significant costs and inconvenience of moving house or demolishing and rebuilding. Many projects can also be undertaken while you continue to live in the home.
Designing a Home Extension
Key Considerations for Creating Your Ideal Space
Designing a home extension requires careful consideration of several key factors to ensure the final result is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Here are some important aspects to keep in mind:
- The Existing House: The design of the extension should complement the existing style and architecture of the property. This ensures a seamless integration that enhances the overall look and feel of your home.
- The Proposed Extension: Consider the purpose of the extension, the available space, and your budget. Whether you’re adding a new bedroom, a home office, or an alfresco area, the design should meet your specific needs and preferences.
- Building Materials: Choose durable, sustainable, and climate-appropriate materials. This not only ensures the longevity of the extension but also contributes to the overall aesthetic and energy efficiency of your home.
- Local Council Regulations: Ensure the design complies with local council regulations and obtain the necessary council approvals. This step is crucial to avoid any legal issues and ensure the smooth progress of your project.
A well-designed home extension should:
- Enhance the aesthetic appeal of the property.
- Improve the functionality of the home.
- Increase the value of the property.
- Provide minimal disruption to the existing house and its occupants.
