Split-level family renovation

A 1970s split-level reworked for a growing family — a new kitchen with a long island, cork floors, a restored brick fireplace and an open sunken lounge.

The project

Mount Waverley

The split level is worth keeping. The walls that chop it up come out, the brick fireplace is restored as the centrepiece of the sunken lounge, and warm cork flooring runs through the new kitchen and dining so the levels read as one space.

What the work involves

  • Non-structural walls removed to open the levels
  • New kitchen with long island and pantry wall
  • Cork flooring throughout living areas
  • Brick fireplace cleaned and restored
  • New balustrade and lighting

Start to finish

Every stage of the build

The parts of a job that decide how it lasts — demolition, framing, services and waterproofing — are the parts you never see once it's finished. Here they are.

  1. Stage 1 of 3

    The existing room or site, before any work begins.

  2. Stage 2 of 3

    During construction

    Strip-out, structure and services, then fit-out — the stages most clients never see.

  3. Stage 3 of 3

    Completed

    The finished result at handover.
