Terrace Renovations
These small dwellings have the potential to be transformed into modern and contemporary homes whilst still keeping their heritage feel. However, terrace renovations can be quite challenging due to their confined space, poor site access, close proximity to neighbours and age of existing structures. For this reason it is extremely important to acquire the services of an experienced builder at any stage of your terrace renovation. We have undertaken numerous terrace renovations across Sydney’s inner west and eastern suburbs including Newtown, Erskinville, Redfern, Marrickville, Kingsford and Neutral Bay. We are able to provide you with services starting from designing and planning through to actual renovation and construction.

Sydney Terrace Renovations
Why renovate your crumbly terrace?
Sydney terraces have gained popularity in recent years and modernised terraces are hot property in the current market boom. This is mainly in part due to their concentration in sought after areas that are in close proximity to Sydney’s CBD. These mostly Victorian and Edwardian era Terrace homes can be found scattered throughout Sydney’s inner city, Inner-West, Eastern Suburbs and lower North Shore.
Traditional design of that era concentrated on living areas located at the front of the house, in start contrast to the open-plan living style of today, where our living areas are located towards the rear, opening up into stylish and functional courtyards. Renovating these gems turns a run-down property in extremely liveable neighbourhoods into a contemporary style dream home that still retain their original charm and character.
Reasons you need an experienced terrace renovator:
- Site access can be extremely difficult given narrow blocks and tight spaces
- Terraces often share common walls with adjoining neighbours, in buildings that are up to 100 years old. This presents structural considerations with risk of damaging neighbouring property that could cost you in the long term.
- There are often council restrictions to ensure modifications are in keeping with heritage conditions
- Space is at a premium and only an experienced designer will ensure you have maximised the available space through innovative design
PROVEN RESULTS
F.J.C Design and Construction have extensive experience in Terrace transformations.
Mixing Old and New
Blending modern materials and technology into older style homes provide a stunning juxtaposition between old and new whilst still creating a minimalist feel. Bright colours, windows and skylights maximise natural light and give your space an airy feel.
Outdoor Spaces
Terrace homes usually lack a front garden and have small back yards. Opening the back of your home into a courtyard space designed for entertainment and open living ensures you maximise your space and use of the natural environment.
