residential extensions
alsoCAN architects specialises in residential extensions & additions. We like to retain as much as we can. It's better for the environment & old houses have charm that we can compliment with new spaces.
We like locals contacting us to ask about renovating their home. We are happy to look & give initial Planning advice.
We've reached the second wave of inner city renovations. We have just completed a couple of additions at the front, where we retained the 90s additions at the rear.
An addition we have just completed in Port Melbourne has led to 2 more extensions we are about to start designing. We're designing an addition next door to one in Hawthorn we did a few years back. Soon there will be 3 additions in the same street. The joy of happy clients recommending us & clients returning to design their next house or addition.
We are hoping to expand into Launceston, as we are currently relocating office there where Dave will be Associate Professor at UTAS. Jane will be continuing architectural works in Melbourne, while designing an air bnb in the sheds of our new place at 42 Herbert St, Launceston. Sheds are a thing in Launceston.
