Single Storey House Extensions
A ground-floor or single-storey home extension is a popular choice when you have space around the property to build outwards. This type of project may involve expanding existing living areas such as the meals, dining, or lounge, or adding multiple new rooms like bedrooms. Talk to one of our design consultants to learn more about our single-storey house extensions and the many benefits you can gain from extending your home.
Our single storey extension services include:
- Kitchen Extensions: Expand your culinary space with modern kitchen extensions that incorporate the latest design trends and functionality
- Living Room Extensions: Create spacious entertainment areas perfect for Queensland's indoor-outdoor lifestyle
- Bedroom Extensions: Add additional bedrooms or master suite extensions with ensuite bathrooms
- Granny Flat Extensions: Self-contained living spaces ideal for extended family or rental income
- Outdoor Room Extensions: Covered entertaining areas that blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living.
Second-Storey House Extensions
If space on your property is limited or you want to extend upwards to enjoy the views, a second storey home extension could be the answer. Many of our clients enjoy significant lifestyle benefits from a second or double storey extension. It provides the same benefits as a single storey extension, without losing valuable space in the backyard or gardens.
Double storey extension benefits include:
- Maximised Living Space: Double your extension footprint without sacrificing garden or outdoor areas
- Enhanced Property Values: Two-storey extensions typically offer superior return on investment
- Stunning Views: Upper-level additions often capture better views of surrounding landscapes
- Flexible Design Options: Separate living zones for different family needs
Rear Home Extensions
Extending the rear of the home can maximise space on a narrow city block in Gympie. A rear extension opens up the house and invites the outdoors in, increasing natural light and creating an open-plan area for your family to enjoy. Similar to a single-storey extension, a rear addition can include one or multiple rooms. Talk to us about planning permits and design suggestions to suit your family’s needs.
Popular throughout Gympie and surrounding areas, rear extensions work particularly well for:
Open-Plan Living: Connecting existing rooms to create seamless flow between kitchen, dining, and living areas
Family Rooms: Dedicated spaces for children’s play areas or teenage retreats
Home Offices: Professional workspaces separated from main living areas
Additional Bathrooms: Reducing morning congestion with extra facilities
Side Extensions
When rear expansion isn’t feasible, side home extensions provide excellent alternatives for enlarging your home’s footprint. Side extensions are especially suitable for:
- Garage Conversions: Converting existing garages whilst adding new carport or garage space
- Utility Areas: Laundries, storage rooms, or workshop spaces
- Additional Bedrooms: Perfect for growing families requiring extra sleeping accommodation

Trendy Gympie Home Extensions Ideas for 2025
Sustainable Living Spaces
Sustainable living spaces are becoming more popular. By installing solar panels and rainwater harvesting systems, you can lower your carbon footprint and save on utility bills. Although the initial cost can be higher, the long-term savings and environmental advantages make this a worthwhile choice.
Multi-functional Rooms
Multi-functional rooms are ideal for families who need adaptable spaces that can change with their needs. Use your home office as a guest room, playroom, or quiet study area. The flexibility of these spaces maximises your home’s potential while keeping it practical.
Indoor-Outdoor Flow Extensions
Access to the outdoors is growing in popularity, bi-fold doors that open onto a deck or garden can be ideal for entertaining friends or enjoying peaceful family dinners. This design not only boosts natural light but also brings the beauty of nature directly into your home.
Smart Home Integration
Smart home integration is transforming how we interact with our living spaces. From automated lighting and climate control to advanced security systems, adding technology to your home extension can improve convenience and efficiency. Smart home features allow many appliances to be controlled from your smartphone, which not only makes life easier but also boosts your property’s value.
Vertical Extensions
If you’re running out of space but love your current location, why not build upwards? Vertical extensions let you add a second storey or loft conversion without sacrificing valuable outdoor space. This option is especially attractive in densely populated areas where land is limited. Although it can involve more complex construction issues, the benefits are significant: increased living space without moving.
