Renovation and extension design in the Southern Highlands
The best renovations respect what is already good about a house and fix what is not. I help you work out which is which.
Who it helps
Owners of existing homes who need more space, better flow, more light, or a home that suits the next stage of life.
Problems I can help solve
- Adding rooms without losing the garden or the character
- Opening up dark or cramped layouts
- Working out what can change and what is best left alone
- Planning work so you understand scope before you commit
What’s typically included
- Measured survey and review of the existing home
- Concept options and a recommended direction
- Developed design and materials
- Drawings and documentation for the agreed approval pathway
Your proposal sets out exactly which services, fees and consultants apply to your project.

How we work together
We start with a conversation, agree the brief and scope, then develop the design with you. You’re asked for decisions at clear points, and each one is explained. See the full process.
Common questions
Can I stay in the house during the work?
That depends on the scope and your builder. We can discuss it early so the design suits how you need to live.
How do I know what approvals I need?
It depends on your property and the work. Chris will explain the likely pathway once he understands your project.
General guidance only. The right approval pathway is specific to each project.
