Fulham Extension: Transforming a Dilapidated House into a Dream Home
When clients in Fulham approached us, they were living in a house that had seen better days. The home was tired, worn, and far from reflecting the lifestyle they envisioned. What they wanted was not just an extension or renovation, but a complete transformation: a home that felt new, functional, and inspiring, with a large extension that would add the space and flow they had been missing.
This is where their Fulham extension was life-changing. Instead of leaving behind a familiar suburb or starting from scratch, homeowners can breathe new life into an existing property, preserving what they love about their location while unlocking the potential of their home.
A Design-Led Transformation
From the outset, the focus was on design. The Fulham extension needed to blend seamlessly with the existing house while elevating it to a level of comfort and sophistication that matched the clients’ aspirations. Every aspect was considered: how light would move through the home, how spaces would connect, and how each detail would contribute to a more enjoyable daily life.
The project was not just about building more rooms; it was about creating a cohesive home that felt both modern and timeless. This is why extensions are often the perfect solution for families who want to stay in the area they love but need a home that finally meets their needs.
Extending and Renovating Inside and Out
The works involved more than just a rear addition. The house was significantly renovated throughout, ensuring that the old and new came together in harmony. From structural improvements to high-end finishes, every part of the home was reimagined. The large extension created open, flowing spaces that were designed around entertaining, family connection, and effortless everyday living.
Outside, the transformation was just as dramatic. The external finishes were chosen to complement the architectural style, while features like coloured concrete provided both durability and a contemporary edge.
Key Features that Defined the Project
-
Coloured concrete: Adding a bold, modern touch to the outdoor spaces while ensuring longevity.
-
High-end kitchen: Designed as the heart of the home, complete with premium finishes and appliances that support both family meals and entertaining.
-
Gas strut servery window: A feature that opens the kitchen to the outdoors, creating a seamless flow between inside and out, perfect for Adelaide’s lifestyle.
-
Comprehensive renovation: Every aspect of the original home was upgraded, ensuring the old house matched the quality and feel of the new extension.
These details are what made this Fulham extension truly transformative. It is not just about extra square metres; it is about creating spaces that feel luxurious, functional, and uniquely yours.
Designed and Built by Dornford
One of the greatest advantages for clients was working with a single design-and-build team from start to finish. By managing both the design and construction, we ensured that nothing was lost in translation and that the final result matched the original vision. This integrated approach also meant the process was streamlined, transparent, and far less stressful for the clients.
Our commitment to excellence, care, and growth underpins every project we take on. In Fulham, that meant creating a home the clients could not only be proud of, but one that would serve them well into the future.
Why Fulham Extensions Make Sense
Extensions in Fulham are increasingly popular for families who love the area but need more from their home. Whether it is adding space for a growing family, creating modern entertaining zones, or upgrading outdated interiors, extensions offer a way to stay rooted in a community while living in a home that feels brand new.
This Fulham project is a perfect example of how a dilapidated property can be completely reimagined. With the right design, craftsmanship, and attention to detail, any house can be transformed into a dream home.
A Beautiful Life at Home
For the clients, the result was more than a completed project; it was a lifestyle upgrade. The home now reflects who they are, how they live, and the future they want to enjoy. Extensions like this are not just about bricks and mortar, they are about creating a place where every day feels like a beautiful life.
