In the realm of home renovations, the quest to maximise property value is a journey filled with possibilities and potential. At BY Projects, we understand the importance of strategic renovations that not only enhance the functionality and aesthetics of your home but also significantly increase its market appeal and resale value. Let’s explore which renovations add the most value and transform your house into a desirable haven.
Expand Your Home
- One of the most impactful ways to add value to your property is by adding a home extension. Whether it’s expanding the living space, creating a multi-functional space, or converting the loft, extensions provide additional square footage that enhances the functionality and desirability of your home.
- Additional parking and storage space are valuable assets for homeowners, particularly where parking is limited. Adding a garage or expanding an existing one provides convenience and security while adding value to your property.
Upgrade the Essentials
- The kitchen is often considered the heart of the home, and upgrading this space can yield significant returns on investment. From modernising appliances to installing sleek countertops and custom cabinetry, a well-designed kitchen not only improves functionality but also elevates the overall aesthetic appeal of your home.
- Bathrooms are another focal point for potential buyers, and upgrading this space can be a great value-adding renovation to your property. From luxurious fixtures and spa-like amenities to stylish tile work and modern finishes, a renovated bathroom adds both comfort and sophistication to your home.
- High-quality flooring is also a key feature that buyers look for when assessing a property. Whether it’s hardwood, laminate, or tile, upgrading the flooring throughout your home enhances aesthetics and durability, adding value and appeal to prospective buyers.
Bring the Outside In
- Natural light and seamless indoor-outdoor flow are sought-after features that enhance the appeal of any home. Incorporating features such as folding doors, large windows, and outdoor living spaces creates a sense of spaciousness and connection with the outdoors, making your home feel bright, airy, and inviting.
- In today’s eco-conscious world, sustainable and energy-efficient upgrades are highly desirable among homeowners. From installing energy-efficient appliances to incorporating renewable energy sources such as solar panels, green renovations not only reduce environmental impact but also lower utility costs, making your home more attractive to potential buyers.
- Finally, upgrading the visual appeal of the exterior of your house can significantly impact its curb appeal and overall value. From refreshing the paintwork to landscaping enhancements and adding architectural details, exterior renovations create a welcoming and inviting atmosphere that sets your home apart.

I highly recommmend the team at BY Architecture.
Barbara, Howard and the team designed a wonderful extension to my late 1960s Melbourne home, ran the tender process to find me a builder, and superintended the build contract.
The design process that Barbara took me through was comprehensive, well-considered and highly collaborative, and the resulting extension and renovation was incredibly well-tailored to my specific needs and desires.
The tender process was similarly well-run, and we ended up choosing a builder that Barbara had worked with many times before and recommended. The recommendation was a great one and the entire build ran very smoothly, with the many quirks arising in a typical renovation being dealt with intelligently and with no fuss.
During the entire time I worked with them, Barbara and her team went over-and-above to keep me happy. As a result of their attention to detail and their focus on customer service, they ensured that what can often be a stressful time was actually a pleasure. I cannot thank them enough and would work with them again in a heartbeat.

thank you Arik. Happy to be helpful 
Barbara and the BY Projects team were fantastic to work with for our knockdown-rebuild. We had no idea what we were doing or getting ourselves in for, and through every stage of the process Barbara explained everything and was supportive and transparent.
She drew plans for a beautiful house for us which fulfilled everything we wanted while adding such flair and style that we never could have imagined ourselves.
I was so glad to have her and her team on my side throughout the build process, as we would have struggled to advocate for ourselves (or even notice) mistakes or defects by the builder.
Overall, we just couldn’t be happier with the final result.

Thank you for your enthusiasm Emily. And thank you for trusting us with your dream Home. It's been a pleasure working with you and your family, and we trust you will enjoy your home for the years to come. 
We recently had the pleasure of carrying out a renovation for Barbara and BY Projects Architecture.
The project ran very smoothly from receiving the plans, to handover day.
Barbara pays very close attention to detail and takes great pride in her work.
We look forward to working with BY again on future projects.

Thank you Jarardhan. We do hope you find a more suitable site soon to build your dream homeBarbara 
We were in a very difficult position after a VCAT rejection. Barbara came into our project and reimagined what was possible with our property. Going from a house with three shops with significantly reduced value to a development with two town houses, a cafe and all able to be subdivided into three separate properties. Barbara was positive, enthusiastic, charming at planning meeting and all in all kept us positive and hopeful. Barbara went through the whole process with us and I would say went above and beyond what would generally be expected. She worked well with our development team, working out strategies for planning challenges. We are very thankful for her time and energy.
We engaged Barbara and her team many times over many years for our Building Development Projects, including Multi Residential, Child Care and Mixed Use. Most recently for a couple of houses in Port Melbourne with complex Heritage Overlay requirements.
Barbara worked with us closely to ensure all design requirements were achieved to exceed market expectations. All permit requirements were managed in a professional and timely manner, and all processes were met on time and on budget.
The finished buildings were outstanding and the realized sales well above market expectations.
We highly recommend BY Projects Architecture for their Design sense and construction experience.

I have worked with Barbara and the team at BY Projects on a number of projects now. Its hard to think how you could get better value for money. They are great architects - that goes without saying. But its the extra mile they go to on your behalf in order to secure the very best for you that makes all the difference. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for your next project.
