Did you know enhancing and remodelling existing homes contributes to a greener future?
Spending more time at home in recent years made many appreciate the transformative power of renovation. But the impact reaches further than your living space—improving an existing structure is also a positive choice for the planet.
Upcycling your home is more environmentally-friendly than undertaking a new build. Renovations and extensions offer a lower carbon footprint, supporting sustainability. Upcycling is versatile, cost-effective, and eco-conscious.
As West Australian renovation industry pioneers, Addstyle is committed to the vision of a greener society. Our specialists understand home renovations and extensions are the perfect upcycling solution for today’s conscientious home owners.
Environmental benefits of upcycling
Build or renovate? In terms of the climate-friendly choice, remodelling wins. Traditional demolish-and-rebuild practices have greater environmental repercussions than renovations and extensions. In short, building a new home is much less “green”.
A new home build produces more waste, creates more pollution, and demands more valuable resources than a renovation. Revitalising the original home is a more sustainable decision. Landfill burden is reduced, and resources are conserved.
Part of what makes upcycling eco-friendly is the repurposing of existing structures, and use of salvaged materials. Carbon emissions are minimised when you choose upcycling, as less materials need to be manufactured, compared to a new build.
Preserving architectural heritage
A property’s authentic character can be celebrated when you honour the original craftsmanship. High-quality, thoughtful renovations and extensions can preserve and enhance the architectural history and charm of your home.
What needs are inspiring this process? What design elements and features do you love? How will you protect the overall architectural style? Upcycling allows you to highlight your home’s unique aesthetic while improving liveability.
Quality restoration of period features and salvaging of vintage materials is key. As leading Perth home renovation builders, we have the knowledge and craftsmanship to blend old with new; harmonious design for timeless sophistication.
Cost-effectiveness and increased home value
Demolition and home builds are often viewed as cost-effective—but consider the bigger picture. Renovating and extending offer savings, removing demolition and disposal costs as well as potential new property stamp duty and selling fees.
Property value is also relevant. Upcycling is a win-win scenario that when done well, can elevate the worth of your property. Our meticulous extensions and home renovations in Perth and Western Australia can positively impact resale value.
Renovating with our friendly professionals equals a cost-effective transformation that showcases the highest of industry standards. By limiting accepted projects, clients are assured access to the best quality trades, and exquisite care.
Tailored living spaces
An advantage of upcycling is the chance to customise your home in a way that optimises comfort while integrating new and existing design. In contrast, buying an existing home or building a catalogue home may limit the possibilities available.
Renovations and extensions help improve daily routines. How would you like to reconfigure and personalise your living space? Looking to improve energy efficiency and liveability? Your dream vision can be brought to life with a home makeover.
As home extension builders, Addstyle address everything from second story additions in Perth to alfresco extensions. We can introduce an open-plan layout, extend the kitchen, incorporate a new home office, or add additional bedrooms.
Reduced construction time and disruption
We all know a new build risks extended periods of construction, potentially disrupting the daily routine—and not just your schedule. A seemingly never-ending construction process risks rendering you unpopular with the entire neighbourhood.
Upcycling cancels out the need for extensive site preparations and new foundation. No need to start from the ground up. Renovations and extensions are more time-efficient and less overwhelming because they work with the existing home structure.
The shorter schedule leads to faster completion, meaning less disruption for the neighbourhood. Limiting inconvenience from start to finish is the hallmark of a great renovation. A timely completion, without compromising quality.
Perfecting your upcycling vision
Looking to address the shortcomings of current living conditions? Begin by exploring opportunities within the home. Upcycling is a savvy way to preserve and personalise your living space, catering to your needs while respecting the planet.
Home improvement is about recognising potential. Choosing to celebrate your home’s beauty and history positively contributes to a more sustainable future. Going with upcycling supports less waste, and reduces overall resource consumption.
With more than three decades experience and hundreds of awards, it’s safe to say Addstyle understands the artistry of seamless renovation and extension. Contact our friendly team to discuss a home upgrade that embodies modern elegance.
