Glen Huntly kitchen: pale timber joinery, a stone-topped island and a high ceiling opening to the garden

Extension & renovation · Glen Huntly

Glen Huntly

Heritage character, reworked for family life.

Behind a treasured period facade, we delivered a full transformation: keeping the home’s classic street presence and verandah, then opening the rear into a light-filled, open-plan family space. Designed by FYC Architects, the project pairs original character with a bold contemporary extension and bespoke joinery throughout.

From the retained period frontage to the custom cabinetry in every room, it’s a home that respects where it came from while giving a growing family the space and light to thrive.
