Geraldine Road
Brief
This project involved a rear house extension and the lowering of the front basement to create a functional and versatile space for a family with young children. The aim was to make better use of the existing layout while adding valuable living areas to meet the family’s needs.
Build Duration: 40 weeks
Architect: Ade Architecture
Details
The works covered approximately 75% of the house’s footprint, focusing on transforming the basement into a practical and welcoming space. The new layout includes a family room, office, bathroom, and utility area, designed to seamlessly integrate into the family’s day-to-day life. The rear extension added further usability and enhanced the overall flow of the house, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
Solutions
The project was tailored to suit the family’s lifestyle, maximising the available space and ensuring a comfortable, functional environment. By carefully designing the basement and extension, the home now offers ample room for relaxation and productivity while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic throughout.
Results
A beautifully extended and renovated home that provides extra room for the growing family. The clients were delighted with the results, appreciating the thoughtful design and the additional space tailored to their needs.

Melinda Swann, Design
I was the project architect for a fantastic house build with SDA. The whole team worked hard to make sure the project was executed perfectly, and the finish is superb. I highly recommend SDA, with Sammy at the helm, and Dumitru on site, to anyone looking to create a very special house, without putting up with the usual contractor problems. They kept the site tidy, safe, well organised, and worked tirelessly. From a professional point of view, the valuations were spot on, with SDA showing honesty and integrity in their calculations of the value of work done. I know that when Sammy calls me, it’s a project I want to be involved in.
Colony Architects Ltd
Sammy and his team completed a total demolition and rebuild job for us. Sammy is highly experienced and was very committed to delivering a quality product. His team produced a great finish and everyone at SDA was very polite and courteous which was great as we were living in the house at the end with two small children. I would happily recommend Sammy as someone who takes pride in his work and has the skill and experience to deliver.
