The Brief

A family of growing kids and exactly one bathroom.

Dylan and Hannah loved their North Shore home — the timber ceiling beams, the unique layout, the cozy charm. As the family grew, it stopped being practical: mornings felt rushed with one bathroom, the interior flow needed work, and the whole house was overdue for something that felt like theirs.

They didn’t want to lose what they loved about the place. They wanted calm and beautiful, but still recognisably their home.

We worked with them and their architect to keep the character, add a second bathroom, and rework the interior so the home moved with them.

The Outcome

Two bathrooms, one calmer house.

Dylan and Hannah now enjoy two spacious, light-filled bathrooms — floating timber vanities, calming natural tones, frameless walk-in rain showers and warm LED lighting. Mornings finally work for a family.

Inside, the interior was reworked for better flow and functionality — the bedroom, the living, every room moves with them. The character they loved is still there. The friction is gone.

What We Did

The scope, in plain English.

A bathroom addition and full interior transformation in North Shore — character preserved, calm restored.

01

Second Bathroom Addition

Designed and built a brand-new second bathroom inside the home — floating timber vanity, frameless walk-in rain shower, refined tapware, and warm LED lighting throughout.

02

Master Suite Bathroom

Existing bathroom rebuilt as a master suite bathroom — full tile, floating vanity, and a spa-like aesthetic to match the new second bathroom.

03

Interior Flow Rework

Internal layout reworked for better flow between rooms — bedroom, living, and circulation routes redesigned around how the family actually moves through the day.

04

Character Preservation

Timber ceiling beams and the home’s unique character all preserved — the calm and beauty Dylan and Hannah wanted, without losing the soul of the place.

05

Architect Collaboration

Worked closely alongside the family’s existing architect — design intent honoured, build coordinated, council consent secured through to CCC.

Simon and Joanna of Add Value Renovations planned and completed our en-suite upgrade. We are entirely happy with the finished product and the service and care they provided. We especially appreciated the direct communication with Simon. He is a good man — honest, reliable, and easy to work with. The attention to detail and quality of the finish was outstanding.

We loved working with Simon and the team at Add Value Renovations. Add Value's project manager Tim, and interior designer Joanna, had excellent communication throughout the entire process. The quality of the workmanship was top-notch and they completed our bungalow renovation on time and on budget.

Just wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for the outstanding work you've done! A ext. renovation done by Add Value was truly a remarkable transformation. The kitchen and bathroom designs are not only aesthetically stunning but also highly functional. It's evident that a lot of thought and care went into every detail.
