Deco House
A Transformative Extension Project in Highett
Are you looking to extend your home in one of Melbourne’s premier bayside areas? If you need more room but aren't ready to leave the bayside lifestyle behind, a high-quality home extension is the ideal solution. This featured project is one of Dean’s recent designs in the popular and rapidly developing suburb of Highett, where he has focused on unlocking the full potential this classic Art Deco inspired residence.
Whether you require more space for a growing family, a luxurious master suite, or simply wish to enhance your daily lifestyle, this project demonstrates how smart architectural design can turn your current house into a "forever home."
Designing for a Bayside lifestyle
In the City of Bayside, residents value a strong connection to the outdoors and a genuine sense of spaciousness. Dean’s approach for this Highett extension was to maximise every square meter available. He designed a substantial rear addition that addresses the demands of modern living while remaining deeply respectful of the existing structure.
A primary focus was maintaining the home’s original character and street appeal. In suburbs like Highett and neighboring Sandringham or Hampton, preserving the aesthetic harmony of the streetscape is vital for both community value and long-term capital growth. The new addition is tucked neatly behind the original dwelling, creating a private sanctuary that is invisible from the street but transformative from the inside.
Functional and modern spaces
This Melbourne bayside renovation features:
Open-plan living: A seamless flow between the kitchen, dining, and outdoor entertaining areas.
Natural light optimisation: Large glazed openings strategically designed to capture maximum daylight.
Enhanced utility: Integration of smart storage solutions and multi-purpose zones.
the result is a design that doesn't just add floor space; it improves the way the family interacts within the home. Dean is excited to see this vision come to life and looks forward to construction beginning on-site soon.
