Lovely original home, good solar orientation on the extension.

In my first impression the windows on the very left of the extension - the long upright rectangles - look out of place in the overall elevation. They are too similar to the windows on the original house immediately to the left, yet they are too different to the original windows, and present a jarring feeling. I would suggest either making them the same - ie double-hung of the same width and size as the original house on that elevation, or make them substantially different,like the windows in the extension in the rest of that elevation - eg one longer horizontal window near the ceiling.

good luck!

bollie440, I spent literally years drawing up my plans for a new home, which is still underway and also incorporated wheelchair access where possible including a stepless shower. This included lots of research and googling and I am relatively happy with the home as it will turn out but when it comes to a reno, it's so different, just a little more here and a little less there could give you another room or extra storage. With everything you have planned, I would invest in the help of a designer/decorator who will make sure you get the best out of your design and style. It will cost you to hire someone but mistakes or not taking advantage of things you might not otherwise think of, would be worse and most of all dissapointing. How many times do youy hear someone say: "I wish I'd have known I could do that or thought of that"!!!.

Good on you abstar9511 for choosing to Renovate! I've personally gone through a renovation in the last 18 months and it is worth it. From the pictures the house looks to be in fairly decent nick for a Perth original, especially one by the beach with our salt and winds. If you choose to update the gardens at a later date, Planted Passion is happy to quote on a resilient garden design and installation for your properties' weather/soil/aspect conditions. Personally, I can see a Cottage Garden vibe which would like stunning, especially with the inclusion of some Hedges for beach wind protection. Good luck with the reno!

Hi North Residential Constructions , thank you for your comments. We too don't think you can have too many shoes either! and know how important shoe storage is, If you scroll through and take a look at the last photo you will see the shoes are hidden behind the mirror hinged door

we need to keep in mind that the home is on a narrow block close to neighbouring homes and the windows are sized and located to suit the views looking out not as seen looking from outside

The first photo shows just how close the houses are to each other so the exterior view is not as important as to what is needed for the interior space for light and spaciness

The new extension is modern which defines both spaces

yeah I appreciate that now, if the houses are so close no-one will see the last elevation anyway. It looks good and open to the light
