What Homeowners Must Know About Second Story Additions?

Image Source: https://apexalterations.com.au/our-services/second-storey-additions/

Different home additions have a completely different impact on your property's overall appearance and space. Second story additions in particular will not just change your property's structure; they will also double the space and your property's square footage. Not to mention, additional space for your family members will be there to make them live freely. However, building second story additions is not an easy task, and there will be several questions, confusion, etc., in your mind on whether it is the right choice. The chosen home additions company can answer most of these questions quickly. The only stipulation is that the contractor must be experienced and skilled enough to help you make informed decisions.

IS SECOND STORY ADDITION RIGHT FOR ME?

Relocation is the most preferred solution for most people looking for more space inside the property. But the real challenge in metropolitan cities is of purchasing a new property or investing in real estate. Firstly, there are very few properties that match all the requirements of any homeowner. Even if some are there, they will be out of the budget, and people will refuse to afford them. For all these conditions, first floor extensions and second-story additions are the only choices, as they will provide the space needed to accommodate their family and give them privacy.

COST OF SECOND STORY ADDITIONS

Different house extensions in Sydney and remodelling projects vary in cost, as the square footage is affected by a number of factors. This applies more seriously to second story additions as some additional structure will be required like a staircase and then, essential utilities like HVAC, sewer line, electrical wiring, plumbing fittings, etc.

The staircase is the most critical addition, as if it caused some problems, the entire structure will have to be remodelled to accommodate it. All these factors will influence the cost of second story additions drastically.

HOW LONG DO SECOND-STORY ADDITIONS TAKE?

The timeline depends on the property's size, and experts of house extensions in Sydney say that the second story additions project on an average property can be completed between 5 and 6 months. Most of the time is spent creating the design, finalising the plan, getting the necessary permits and approvals, sourcing the materials, etc. Shortage of material can lead to a longer time period. Experts recommend sourcing raw materials as soon as the homeowner and the house extension Sydney builder agree to a particular design. You must avoid making changes in the design approved by both parties, as this will delay the construction.

CAN WE CONTINUE LIVING IN THE SAME PROPERTY DURING SECOND-STORY ADDITIONS PROJECT?

You can continue living in the same property if you want to. The house extensions Sydney builder will make arrangements to ensure that the least dust, debris or noise bothers you. However, a wise idea is to move out of the property and allow builders and their teams to work on second-story additions without any stress. Several things like noise, dust, debris and continuous hustle and bustle can make your life challenging. You need to find a rented property nearby and relocate there until the project is over. You can leave your belongings on your property and cover them to protect them from dust and debris.

IS THE BUILDER RESPONSIBLE FOR ELECTRICAL PLUMBING AND HVAC UPGRADING?

The builder chosen for house extensions in Sydney will arrange essential utilities for your second level, such as electrical wiring, plumbing, HVAC, sewage lines, etc. The engineers will first inspect the roof to determine its strength and capability for supporting additional structure. If necessary adjustments are needed, they will reinforce the property for additional support.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF 2ND STORY ADDITIONS?

Second story additions come with many benefits for the homeowner in several ways. For example, the overall property's value will improve, and second-story additions built as per building codes can double up the property's value, and the living space in your home will also double up. You will meet your family's needs very quickly while ensuring that relocation is unnecessary. Second-story additions will also upgrade your existing property's curb appeal and overall functionality. Choosing the right professional for this project will make you feel like you are living in a new property post-construction.

Designing a Functional Layout for Your Second-Storey Addition

Source: pexels

Designing a functional layout for your 2nd storey addition can help maximise your home's space and comfort. So if you’re thinking of expanding extra bedrooms or adding a home office, you should do some careful planning to ensure the new level complements your existing structure.

Truth be told, every detail contributes to a practical and harmonious design. To achieve this, we'll give you tips on designing a second-storey layout that combines style and functionality below!

Steps to Designing a Functional Layout

Designing a practical layout involves creating a flow that maximises functionality and enhances comfort. That said, you need to follow some steps for better results!

Understand Your Needs and Priorities

When building a second floor, the first step is to evaluate your lifestyle and understand how the new space will be used. Are you adding extra bedrooms, creating a home office, or designing an entertainment area?

Think about your family’s current needs and how they might change in the future. For example, you may need separate spaces for work and play if you work from home or have school-aged children.

In addition to understanding how the space will be used, defining your must-have features is also important. Some examples include natural ventilation, privacy for each room, or an open-plan design.

Work with the Existing Layout

Consider working with your home's existing layout to make sure your 2nd storey addition blends in smoothly. The second floor's layout should complement the first floor in terms of design, flow, and traffic patterns.

For example, the staircase connecting the two levels should be thoughtfully placed in a central or unobtrusive location to ensure easy access without disrupting the space's flow.

Aside from the layout, it's also best to respect your house's structural constraints. The existing foundation and roof structure may limit the design and construction of the new floor. You can consult a professional, like an architect, to assess your home's current supports, utilities, and structural integrity.

Maximising Space Efficiency

Creating a smart design can help you maximise the space in your 2 storey addition. One of the first decisions is whether to go with open-plan living or defined rooms. An open floor plan can make the space feel larger and more connected, while separate rooms offer privacy and purpose-specific areas.

To strike a balance, consider flexible options like sliding doors, partitions, or convertible spaces that can adapt to your needs over time. Adding storage can also help you make the most out of your new space. Built-in solutions like shelving, closets, or under-bed storage can help keep the area organised without taking up extra room.

Design Aesthetics and Flow

For a successful 2nd storey addition, consider harmonising the new space with your home's existing style. Use materials, colour schemes, and design elements that complement the original structure to create a cohesive look. Avoid mixing clashing architectural styles between the first and second floors, as this can disrupt your home's overall appeal and value.

Creating a sense of flow is also important for a functional and comfortable home. When planning the layout, divide the area into functional zones to improve practicality. For example, you can divide the second floor into living, sleeping, or working spaces.

For added versatility, consider multi-functional rooms or flexible layouts so you can easily adapt them according to your needs.

Consult with Professionals

Working with professionals can make all the difference when planning a second-storey house. Hiring an architect or designer ensures that the layout optimises space, enhances aesthetics, and complies with building codes. Their expertise can also help identify structural challenges and suggest creative solutions to help you achieve your vision.

It's also important to collaborate with an experienced builder. They will help you optimise your space and budget while keeping your project on track.

Work with Mista Reno for Quality 2nd Storey Additions

Designing a functional 2nd storey addition requires careful planning and consideration of your needs, lifestyle, and long-term needs. Some ways to do this include focusing on how the new floor is integrated with the existing layout and prioritising essential features.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Planning to build a second-storey extension, here are the answers to your frequently asked questions related to this matter!

Can you add a second story to an existing house?

You can add a second story to an existing house, but several factors should be considered. For instance, the structural integrity of your home and whether your local building codes permit it.

How much does adding a second floor cost?

The cost of adding a second floor can vary depending on several factors, such as the size of the addition, materials, and complexity of the design. Your builder can give you a quote on your project so you can adjust your budget.

SINGAPORE 30th April - 2nd May 2024

By the time we reached Singapore on 30th April and transferred to the hotel it was bedtime. We learnt two things on arrival. First that Singapore in common with much of south east Asia is experiencing a heatwave (of course it is always extremely hot anyway!) Secondly, the hotel was totally full and we were warned to arrive for breakfast before 8am as otherwise the buffet is overwhelmed! (While we have been staying here they have actually put out extra tables and chairs to overflow into the lobby as the restaurant is so busy!) The reason for a full hotel is that 1st May is a Chinese holiday which apparently spreads over the rest of the week so we knew Singapore would be very busy.

On 1st May after an early breakfast we took the metro train to Little India. The metro in Singapore is brilliant - very efficient and easy to use. It also provides a way of ducking out of the heat and humidity while travelling. Sometimes you have to walk long distances underground but staying relatively cooler is a bonus.

The last time we visited Little India was 1987. It was good to find that the area still had the low rise traditional buildings:

The Hindu temple was ornately decorated:

Having been told it was a Chinese holiday, we hadn’t expected to see many people arriving to attend the temple. However the temple was very full as evidenced by the hundreds of shoes outside and to our surprise a huge queue of people around the side of the temple waiting to enter. We also passed several market stalls making fresh flower garlands that we presumed that those attending temple might buy. Some of the garlands were covered in bees showing how fresh the flowers were and they were certainly very colourful:

We then returned to the metro and took a 40 minute journey to Changi airport. The reason for going there was to see the Jewel shopping centre with largest indoor waterfall. We had not seen this before but we were curious as the waterfall was formally opened by a Government Minister 5 years ago on the day we flew out of Singapore back to London after our holiday in New Zealand.

The waterfall is certainly spectacular:

The shopping centre has five storeys and there are viewing points on each floor. We went down to the bottom and watched the waterfall for a while sitting on seats surrounded by plants. From the ground floor, the trees and shrubs planted around the waterfall are very impressive.

The photos also convey a sense of how busy it was. As the shopping centre can be accessed direct from the airport there were many many people there with lots of luggage, filling their time before or after a flight. In addition, given the holiday, there were huge numbers of people there on a day trip with children. Many restaurants in the shopping centre had huge queues of people waiting for a table. On the top floor there was even an area where children had an adventure playground - for a fee.

On 2 May we decided to visit the Merlion which sits at the mouth of the Singapore River in the Marina reservoir at the point where the reclaimed land starts. We travelled to the Merlion Park by metro. The last time we were in Singapore the Merlion was under repair and under scaffolding! We had to navigate our way through huge numbers of tourists in the Merlion Park to see it properly.

Opposite the Merlion is the Marina Bay Sands complex:

We decided to walk along the Singapore River back to our hotel despite the heat. There are several sculptures on the riverside celebrating Singapore’s past. This is my favourite, which shows young boys enjoying swimming in the river many years ago:

We also walked past the area with original Singapore buildings that we remember first seeing in 1987. It is great that they have been preserved and not demolished for even more high rise corporate buildings as shown behind them:

As we approached our hotel I took this photo to illustrate a trend we have noticed that many high rise buildings in Singapore now have areas of planting of trees and shrubs as part of the structure:

We are now relaxing by the swimming pool while waiting for our taxi this evening to go back to the airport. It’s been a fantastic adventure but now homeward bound!

Here we are...

Yet again, the heavy elevator doors rush open to grant me a dramatic opening.

The first thing I see when the doors wait patiently for me to leave are long, vibrant green vines hanging down from the extravagantly carved indicator on the top of them.

with durable thickness and threatening thorns, the creeping plants welcome the sight of a colorful array of roses in many sizes and shades. while some flourish under whatever specs of sunlight they could grasp, others lay meek, small, and dormant, their young nature portrayed in the form of buds.

further in, shrubbery lays scattered all across the storey, wrapped around simple red-pebble frames, other, slightly larger greenery sitting displayed in-beautifully carved-cement vases. (most of which engraved with the letters "GG")

"No need to be nervous now, miss L/N. Please, walk further, I'm just across the hall."

My shoulders tense heavily as I hold back a seagull yelp when that echoing voice suddenly breaks the silence. "Y-yes, sir..!" I squeal in response.

Never mind, I start pacing on the checkered flooring of the spacious room. I eye to the right and left of me, observing the floor windows that permit the bright spring sunlight to highlight each step I take with a harsh white glow on my Mary-Janes

As if this place wasn't incredible enough, the view from outside is breathtaking! Through the large, rainbow reflecting windows, the once giant fountains and messy mazes of gardens, now look as tiny as a kitten!

..

Speaking of...one just passed by me. I eye it as it pitpats past me with a high-pitched

"Meeeoooow~!<3 <3"

"Awwh...!!" I coo to myself.

Finally, at the end of the hall, I lay my eyes upon the tall golden-framed velvet chair Don Giovanna is patiently sitting on, his legs crossed and head supported on his hand.

"Nice to finally see your face, miss L/N," smiles Giovanna, kindness evident in the creases forming under his eyes. "Truly, shining addition to the organization. Relieve me, miss L/N," he leans in his chair, looking behind him for dramatic effect, "you are aware of what's actually happening here...right?"

I nod in affirmation. "Yes, sir, I'm grateful to have come here enlightened by your wonderful employer."

"Hmph, one less person to stress, haha."

Giovanna straightens his posture once more and steps out of his chair, smiling at me confidently while rummaging through a sorted array of papers on his bureau. When his slender hands finally find a tiny piece of paper between all of the mess, he hands it to me, not dismissing me before one last note.

"Alright, listen closely, L/N. Your job here is not by any means limited to being an assistant. You could be called out to at any moment to substitute a fallen worker, whatever his position may be, so keep your head up for me, won't you,miele? We really can't afford to lose another cherished heart." I blink a couple of times. I know I expected this somehow, but for it to be confirmed so straightforwardly is...intimidating, sort of.

"You are to go to the 2nd floor immediately to officially claim your place. Your employer and more of my men will play as your escorts to your new office." I take the piece of paper, reading it.
