Project scope:
Addition expanding and transforming the main living space and kitchen.
Project Description:
The project involved a rear extension on the home, as well as a new kitchen and upgrades throughout. The client wanted a new living space with a traditional, yet contemporary flair, and ample natural lighting. Being an older home, this renovation posed a number of challenges: narrow laneways and a tight, shared driveway made access difficult; building concessions also had to be made to protect a large tree.
The client received a well-designed traditional kitchen with a contemporary feel, featuring a honed Assoluto Nero black granite kitchen counter. Quarter-sawn oak floors were featured throughout and two 4’x4’ skylights plus a wall of glass doors provided ample natural light. Other stand-outs include the built-in custom sound system, full-piece stone hearth and surround for fireplace, and a continuous plaster cornice throughout the new living space.
Testimonial: Consider yourself lucky to have found M-Squared!
“Consider yourself lucky to have found M2! These guys are the real deal. They do things the way they should be done: Professionally, thoroughly and with a positive and creative attitude. Our whole job from beginning to end was a perfectly pleasant experience:
- From our initial meeting where they understood and agreed to a timeline that had us finished on time.
- Through watching Mark approach our project as if he were working on his own home. When any snag presented itself his attitude was “hmmm… lets get creative and see how we can address this?” Whether it was figuring out how to provide uniform ceiling heights, or moving a pipe stack to the most logical spot, or coming up with a creative banister design in a tricky spot. All were examples of his commitment to a great outcome and to the highest quality work.
- Through every single tradesman being respectful, friendly and skilled.
- To the final stages where M2 took the initiative to stay with every minor detail until the job was completed perfectly!
Both our architect and designer have remarked on how impressed they were with M2. Both intend to recommend them on future jobs. These guys are likely to get very busy … so I would recommend that you don’t hesitate. Select these guys. I am confident that you will be relieved that you did!”
