A 70m² Addition Designed for a Growing Family

Based on our 70m² Second Storey Addition Package we added:

  • Three bedrooms
  • One family bathroom
  • One separate WC
  • One additional living room
  • Approximately 70m² of additional floor space

This second storey addition in Figtree transformed an existing single-storey house into a spacious family home, creating much-needed additional living space without sacrificing the backyard or requiring the owners to move.

Using our 70m² second storey addition package as the starting point, we added three bedrooms, a family bathroom, a separate WC and an additional living room. The new upper level provides greater separation between living and sleeping areas while giving the family the extra space they needed for everyday life.

Why Build Up Rather Than Move?

For this Figtree family, adding a second storey provided the additional bedrooms and living space they needed while allowing them to remain in the neighbourhood they loved. Building upward also meant the family could retain more of its existing backyard than would generally be possible with a large ground-floor extension.
