Creating space for memories
with Multi-Generational Extensions

ADD VALUE TO YOUR FAMILY HOME AND CREATE SPACE FOR YOUR MULTI-GENERATIONAL LIVING EXPERT EXTENSION BUILDERS

There has been a rise in young adults living at home for longer, parents looking after adult children in need, grandparents moving in to help look after grandchildren for working adults or needing care assistance, or long-term visiting family or friends due to long-distance living. These changes have resulted in multiple generations living together under the same roof.

Our multi-generational home extensions go beyond the practicality of two or more generations living together. We focus on creating separate living areas that integrate with the existing house structure, preserving character and family memories for multi-generational living. Picture a large living space that fits every family member, mornings in a newly designed kitchen, or gatherings with the whole family in an expansive entertainment space.

As Melbourne’s multi-generational home design specialists, our in-house design team works closely with multi-generational families, crafting functional layouts such as separate entrances that maximise space and value for young families with growing children, all within your budget. No need for costly external architects – we do it all!

WHY MULTI-GENERATIONAL HOMES ARE AN ATTRACTIVE OPTION

WHY MULTI-GENERATIONAL HOMES ARE AN ATTRACTIVE OPTION

The benefits of having multiple family members living under one roof depend on your family values. Are you looking to create a dual occupancy home to cater for an adult child living at home longer or to have additional support for your kids? When building a ground floor extension or adding a second storey to your home to cater for a growing family, you may benefit from stronger family bonds, childcare support and the potential to save money. Creating a larger home to cater for multiple generations increases your living space square footage.

Thanks to our dual living design experts, multi-generational home extensions blend perfectly with your existing home, boosting its value and curb appeal for future resale. Extensions Unlimited has been creating extra space for Melbourne families just like yours since 1994.

We had a great experience with extensions unlimited. We used them, as friends in Hampton and Cheltenham had found them good to work with for their projects, and it was the same for us. We added on a floor upstairs (2 beds, bathroom, rumpus) and moved some walls downstairs. The job was completed on time (about 6m all in), the quality was good, and Brett (the project manager) and the rest of the team were good to deal with. When we hit any issues, we talked through the options together and worked out a plan. And they helped rescue our cat when it got stuck in the sub floor.

Extensions Unlimited did an absolutely fantastic job with our recent extension! From the initial design consultation to the final touches, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. The designer Barry was incredibly prepared and presented us with a solution that perfectly matched our vision. Throughout the entire project, the team kept us informed and involved every step of the way. Jack, our project manager, was always prompt and helpful in answering our questions. The project was completed on time and within budget, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We highly recommend Extensions Unlimited to anyone considering a home extension

Huge thanks to the Extensions Unlimited Team for executing a fantastic job on our upstairs extension. We started with Ted and Penny in the design phase who were extremely patient, listened to our needs and were willing to work through several iterations of design until we settled on something we were happy with. Once the job commenced we were so pleasantly surprised at how accommodating and respectful all the teams were in working around us while we continued to live on site. Led so well by Project Manager Emilio from start to finish, nothing was ever too much trouble for the guys and their attention to detail was evident. Huge thanks to Emilio, Lachie, PJ, Shane, Riley and all the extended team for their efforts. We were particularly impressed when half way through the build the whole Extensions Unlimited Team including the Directors and Office staff met onsite to inspect the progress of the project. It showed that every member of the team is engaged. Once again we have been impressed from start to finish and have now recommended to several friends and family. Thanks EU Team Dave & Eliza

If we could give 10 stars we would. The entire team at Extensions Unlimited have been outstanding from start to finish. Our designer Barry listened to the issues we had with our house and created a plan for us which transformed our small dark cottage into a modern, light and spacious home. Nick our project manager was amazing. He made the whole process for us as easy and stress free as possible. He kept us informed as to the building schedule and organised everything regarding the build. He ensured all work was completed to the highest standard and that deadlines were met. Also a huge thanks to Ritchie and Trav for their incredible skills and attention to detail in building it all. They always went the extra mile and strove for perfection in everything they did. We cannot recommend Extensions Unlimited highly enough. Rach and Steve

We highly recommend Extensions Unlimited if you are looking to complete an extension to your home! My first phone call to enquire, I spoke to Sandy Pavey who explained the entire process and immediately put me at ease. Ted Bolte, our designer, listened and understood our vision and worked closely with us as we arrived at a design for our extension/renovation that we were excited about. Penni Winter, the pre-construction manager, has unending patience dealing with council and was always reassuring. She seamlessly manages everything leading up to the start of construction. Brett Harvey, our builder and project manager, was a delight to work with. He is responsive, calm and always happy to discuss questions and explain everything. We found all the trades that came into our home were fantastic - the quality of work is great and everyone was friendly and always happy to have a chat and answer questions. From start to finish, we always felt that our home was in good hands and everyone involved was invested in giving us a home our family will enjoy for years to come. Thank-you Extensions!

MULTI-GENERATIONAL HOMES VS GRANNY FLATS

MULTI-GENERATIONAL HOMES VS GRANNY FLATS

Multi-generational house extensions focus on renovating existing living spaces to cater to all family members within the main house. Home designs for multiple generations depend on the level of independence wanted. Will you share meals and household chores or would you prefer to live independently but under one roof? We will help you design the best way to add living rooms bedrooms and bathrooms or powder rooms to the main house to accommodate all preferences and family sizes.

A granny flat is a self-contained dwelling separate from the main house designed for grandparents who need assistance but want independence or for young adults who are struggling to get into the housing market. A granny flat design allows for separate living spaces with its own kitchen, bathroom and bedroom, offering greater privacy. A granny flat construction may present limitations compared to expanding the main family home.

An expert house extension company like Extensions Unlimited is a great choice for your multi-generational house extension because our communication is impeccable, so there is no surprise extra costs during construction.
