Renovated double-storey 1970s Brunswick home with retained brick facade - Brunswick Transformation by SIARI Build, Melbourne
Renovation

Brunswick Transformation

Brunswick, VIC
2019

Overview

The Brunswick Renovation involved the complete transformation of a 1970s double-storey brick residence into a contemporary family home while preserving its original character and street presence. By retaining the existing façade and completely reimagining the interior, this renovation successfully blended timeless architecture with modern living.

The project significantly increased the property’s value while delivering a home that feels both contemporary and functional.

The Challenge

The objective was to modernise an ageing home without losing its original character. Maintaining the structural integrity of the existing building while redesigning the internal layout, upgrading services and incorporating modern finishes required careful planning and detailed coordination throughout the construction process.

As with many renovation projects, working within an existing structure required flexibility and problem-solving to ensure the finished result met modern building standards without compromising the home’s original charm.

Our Solution

Siari Build carefully retained the original architectural elements that defined the home’s character while completely transforming the interior to suit modern family living. The renovation included a new open-plan layout, upgraded kitchen and bathrooms, premium finishes, new flooring and contemporary lighting throughout.

Through detailed planning and quality craftsmanship, we delivered a home that feels entirely new while respecting the history of the original residence.
