Revitalising a dated bungalow for family living.

The Challenge/Scope

The client purchased a 1950s bungalow in disrepair, with the goal of creating a comfortable, well-insulated home that better suited modern family life. The layout was outdated, and testing revealed asbestos throughout the property, requiring careful management and specialised removal to create a safe environment for the renovation.

Creative solutions for layout and modern comfort.

Reimagining the interior layout for flow

Clayton led a site visit and designed a new layout, repositioning the kitchen and bathroom for improved functionality without structural changes, which kept costs down.


Engaging an interior designer for the kitchen

An architect helped design the kitchen layout, providing an efficient and modern approach that aligned with the client’s vision.


Thorough asbestos removal for safety

Professional asbestos testing and removal ensured a safe working environment, with specialists sealing and clearing the property before renovations began.


Completely gutting and fully insulating the home

The team gutted the house and installed insulation in all walls, bringing it well above the healthy home standard to ensure year-round comfort.


Enhancing functionality with storage solutions

Thoughtful storage solutions were added throughout, maximising every space for a small but highly functional family home.



Our Approach

Modern functionality in a classic family home.

The bungalow was transformed into a warm, inviting family home that maintained its original charm on the outside while featuring a completely modernised interior. The client was thrilled with the result, finding it livable, comfortable, and functional for everyday needs. Ultimately, the upgraded home not only met their goals but also added significant market value upon resale, making it a profitable renovation.
