Add valuable living space and improve your home's layout by planning, designing and budgeting for the best single storey extension possible with ACC. Building a single storey extension is a cost-effective alternative to moving house, allowing you to design additional living space with a layout that suits how you use your home.
Building a two-storey extension can be a viable alternative to moving when you're ready to size up house-wise. It can also be a remedy to an interior that's not fit for contemporary life - lacking bathrooms to balance bedrooms upstairs and, on the ground floor, suffering from a layout with a poor connection to the garden, a cramped kitchen, or closed-off rooms where a more open-plan arrangement would be preferable.
Creating new spaces that fully integrate into your home is the key to a successful two-storey extension. The principal rooms of your home should be accessible from the main hall or circulation space in an open-plan layout, as well as from the landing. Rooms or zones with related uses - like the kitchen and the dining space - work best grouped next to each other.
