My husband and I used 321 Build for our new home. Aaron, Andrew and Elli were great to work with. Thanks to all the trades who worked on our home, we are very happy and would highly recommend them.
The original layout of this home featured an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, along with two bedrooms and one bathroom.
As their lifestyle evolved, the addition of a self-contained parents retreat became the ideal way to enhance comfort, privacy and functionality.
Built on a steep and complex site, this project required the precision and expertise. Our team ensured accurate set-out, safe access to the existing home throughout construction, and a secure environment for the family at all times.
The new extension seamlessly integrates with the original structure, connected via a simple yet striking transition of stairs and peekaboo windows. This thoughtful design creates a natural flow from the main home into the new retreat.
The result is a private parents (or guest) suite featuring a walk-in robe and ensuite, positioned close enough to feel connected yet far enough to offer complete privacy, which is perfect for visiting guests or a quiet sanctuary for the homeowners.
To ensure the extension complemented the existing home, we selected materials that blend effortlessly with the original palette. The exterior features:
These finishes deliver a modern, durable and visually cohesive look that enhances the home’s street appeal.
Inside, the retreat showcases Tasmanian Oak flooring paired with black satin skirtings, creating a warm yet contemporary feel. The ensuite continues this theme with rich dark tiles, a custom timber vanity and updated fixtures which brings together texture, tone and craftsmanship in a sophisticated way.
This home extension is a perfect example of how thoughtful design and quality construction can transform the way a family lives. The blend of materials, colours and textures, both inside and out, which creates a retreat that is elegant, functional and built to last.
