New Farm Home Extension FAQs
How do you preserve character when extending New Farm homes?
We carefully match existing architectural details, materials, and finishes while incorporating modern functionality. Our designs respect period features like VJ walls, fretwork, and verandas, ensuring extensions complement rather than compromise your home's character.
What are the heritage requirements for New Farm extensions?
New Farm has character and heritage overlays requiring sensitive design. Extensions must maintain street character, use appropriate materials, and respect existing architecture. We specialize in navigating these requirements while achieving your space goals.
Can you extend under a Queenslander in New Farm?
Yes, building under raised Queenslanders is popular in New Farm. We can create additional bedrooms, living areas, or garages while maintaining flood immunity and character. Some properties may require strengthening existing stumps and foundations.
How much value does an extension add to a New Farm property?
New Farm's prestige location means quality extensions deliver exceptional returns. Adding a bedroom and bathroom can increase value by $200,000-$400,000+. Well-designed Queenslander extensions often return 200-300% of construction cost.
What's the typical timeline for a New Farm extension?
Heritage approvals add 2-4 weeks to standard council processes. Total project timelines: ground floor extensions 4-7 months, second storey 7-10 months (including approvals). Premium finishes may extend timelines. We provide detailed schedules during planning.
