Brief

The owners of this family home in Ringwood East came to Harwin Built with a clear vision: they wanted to breathe new life into their existing home through a thoughtfully designed renovation. Their goal was to maximise space and functionality for their growing family without sacrificing the character of the original structure. The brief called for the addition of three new bedrooms, a modern bathroom, a functional laundry, a powder room, a dedicated study, and an additional living area for entertaining and relaxation. The primary challenge lay in seamlessly integrating these new spaces with the existing structure, maintaining architectural flow and ensuring the upgrades enhanced both the overall value and livability of the home.

Outcome

Harwin Built delivered a tailored renovation that transformed the original home into a spacious, functional, and modern residence. By carefully managing construction around the existing structure, we ensured the transition between old and new was seamless—both visually and structurally. The result is a home that not only meets the family’s needs today but will continue to adapt with them into the future. The additional bedrooms and living zones offer versatility, while the custom-designed study and efficient wet areas elevate day-to-day living. Every detail was considered—from materials that complement the original home to the efficient layout that enhances light, space, and flow.

“Harwin Built turned our vision into reality—our home feels brand new, yet still completely ours.”

“We were impressed by the craftsmanship and the seamless blend between the new spaces and the old structure.”
