Extending your home doesn’t mean sacrificing its original charm. A well-designed extension should enhance the existing architecture, creating a seamless connection between old and new. Whether you’re preserving heritage details, aligning materials, or introducing subtle contrasts, careful planning is key to achieving a balanced, cohesive result.
At LCW Carpentry and Construction, we specialise in creating home extensions that honour the character of your home while improving liveability. Servicing Melbourne and the Macedon Ranges, we work with a wide range of architectural styles. From Victorian terraces in Essendon and Northcote to mid-century homes in Sunbury and modern builds in Preston. Our approach focuses on continuity, precision, and respect for your home’s original features.
We pay close attention to elements like rooflines, cladding, brickwork, window styles, and colour palettes to ensure your new space feels like a natural continuation of your home. Whether you’re looking to preserve ornate details or introduce contemporary touches, we balance contrast and cohesion to suit your goals.
Successfully blending old and new takes more than just matching finishes. It requires an eye for proportion, thoughtful transitions, and quality workmanship. Features like timber flooring, consistent ceiling heights, carefully placed lighting, and natural materials help unify traditional and modern elements throughout your home.
