The concept of upside-down living is a home renovation trend that started becoming well known a few years ago but is only growing in prominence each year. It is also known as reversed living. More and more people who have existing two storey houses are choosing to restructure so that the kitchen and living areas are on the second floor with the bedrooms downstairs; a twist on the more traditional format, hence the name "upside-down living." The reason behind this is simple - people would rather see their views while they are cooking, dining or entertaining, instead of being restricted to seeing these views only when they look out their bedroom windows, often when it's too dark to see.
For those considering a second storey, build the kitchen and living areas in your new addition, and convert the existing areas downstairs into additional bedrooms, studies, theatres, and even extra spaces for children. It's the perfect way to ensure you're taking the best advantage of those stunning views you've paid for! One of our clients in Fremantle employed us to do this, and says it's the best decision they've ever made - find out more here.
Undertaking a renovation project on your house can be a big investment, so it's important you take into consideration things like your existing home's structure, your budget and council regulations before employing anyone to start transforming your current home into your dream house.
