Ground Floor Extensions
A ground floor extension offers a remarkable opportunity to add extra room and redefine your living space without moving homes. At House Extensions Melbourne, we're here to help you take advantage of that opportunity.

The Benefits of Letting Us Handle Your Ground Floor Extension
With any first floor extension project, you will surely get more room. But a well-designed ground floor house extension from us delivers a whole lot more:
Optimised Spatial Planning
We're intentional and clever about how we design. We look at your existing layout and figure out the best way to expand, making the most of every single square metre. You can trust us to strategically expand your house outwards without compromising valuable external areas.
Fluid Indoor-Outdoor Transition
When done right, ground floor extensions naturally facilitate a smooth transition between your interior and exterior spaces, perfect for enjoying your garden and outdoor living areas. We'll work closely with you to achieve this fluid indoor-outdoor transition for your project.

Tailored and Versatile Space Creation
Whether you desire a larger, open-plan living area, a private guest suite, a dedicated home office, or a multi-purpose family room, we can tailor first floor extensions to meet your current needs and lifestyles and help you prepare for long-term living plans.
Ground Floor Extension Ideas to Inspire You
The beauty of a ground floor extension lies in its versatility. It's an opportunity to reimagine your living space to perfectly suit your evolving needs and lifestyle. Here are some inspiring ideas to consider for your Melbourne home:
The Expansive Open-Plan Living Area
This ground extension idea merges kitchen, dining, and living spaces into one large, light-filled and expanded area. It fosters connection, encourages family interaction, and provides an ideal setting for entertaining.
The Dedicated Family Room/Kids' Zone
By extending the first floor of your home, you can create a comfortable and functional space specifically designed for relaxation and play. This could include built-in toy storage, a designated media area, and durable, easy-to-clean flooring.
The Kitchen and Dining Extension
If you and your family love to cook and entertain, consider a kitchen extension. Envision a larger, more functional kitchen with ample countertop space, a central island for food preparation and gathering, and a dining area that can comfortably accommodate family and friends.
The Luxurious Master Suite Addition
Extend your ground floor to create a private and tranquil master retreat. It could include a spacious bedroom, a walk-in wardrobe, and a luxurious ensuite bathroom. Incorporating upscale features such as a freestanding bathtub and a double vanity could work, too.
The Multi-Purpose Room
Add a flexible space that can adapt to your changing needs. You can have it as a home office during the week, a guest bedroom on weekends, or a hobby room. Incorporating features like a built-in Murphy bed or adaptable furniture can maximise the utility of this space.
The Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Entertainment Area
Extend your living space outdoors with a covered alfresco area directly accessible from your ground floor. It's a perfect spot for outdoor dining, lounging, and entertaining, blurring the lines between your indoor and outdoor living areas.
The Accessible and Adaptable Living Space
If you have a multi-generational family or want to plan for the future, a ground floor extension can be designed with accessibility in mind. We can include wider doorways, level thresholds, and adaptable layouts to ensure comfortable and safe living for everyone.
These are just a few ideas to spark your imagination. Our design team at House Extensions Melbourne will work closely with you to understand your specific needs, lifestyle, and aesthetic preferences to create a ground floor extension that is uniquely yours.
Understanding Ground Floor Extension Cost
While providing a precise cost for a ground floor extension without a detailed assessment is challenging, we can provide the key factors that influence the overall investment to help you with your decision. Naturally, the overall square metre of your proposed extension will be a significant factor. More complex designs, intricate architectural features, new fixtures & fittings, multiple rooms, or structural modifications will also influence the cost. The choice of building materials and finishes can impact the cost, too. The same goes for preparatory work; any necessary demolition or site clearing can add to the overall extension project cost.
At House Extensions Melbourne, we believe in providing a clear and transparent breakdown of all costs involved in your ground floor extension project. We will work closely with you to understand your budget and explore material and design options that align with your budget without quality or craftsmanship taking the backseat.
