It is easy to fall in love with Ku-ring-gai for its excellent schools, lush scenery, along with local and national parks. You love the area you live in but your home needs a change. A renovation is a wonderful way to update an older home, accommodate your growing family and add your own style to your home.
Ku-ring-gai has an abundance of bushland, tree-lined streets, and well-preserved Heritage Conservation areas.
The homes in the Ku-ring-gai Council area have been well-built, representing different architectural styles over many decades. These homes are suited to upgrades to improve their liveability. Upgrading or transforming your home will offer your family a delightful new-home feel. This includes indoor-outdoor spaces that suit your contemporary lifestyle and make a statement about your personal style.
Well-built homes that need updating or expanding to accommodate your growing family respond well to a design style that is sympathetic to the existing house. When designing renovations and extensions in Ku-ring-gai, Martin Kolarik aims to raise the design standards to meet your contemporary lifestyle.
Designing Home Renovations in Ku-ring-gai Council
The aim of Ku-ring-gai Council is for home renovations to harmonise with the garden character or the area with sufficient landscaping and conservation of the tree canopy.
Ku-ring-gai Council maintains and enhances the environmental characteristics by regulating to preserve the biodiversity of the bushland. Council is quite clear on the biodiversity and bushfire regulations to incorporate when designing alterations and additions close to these environments. Meticulous research at the Concept Design phase is essential to a positive outcome.

Improving how comfortable your home feels year-round with clever light penetration reaching deep into the home and thermally efficient features, wherever possible, is good for your family and our environment.
The Key to Obtaining Approvals from Council
Ku-ring-gai Council is focused on approving designs for homes that meet their regulations. These regulations are specific to each property. The regulations may relate to Heritage or Bushfire areas. Alternatively, your property may have straightforward requirements. Whichever is the case, every submission needs to comply with the property-specific regulations.

Based on the changes you wish to make he will employ the most suitable approval process for your project.
There are situations where a property does not fit into the typical parameters.

Heritage Conservation Areas constitute several streets where the overall effect of the houses, and sometimes the landscape, create a streetscape that is representative of the history of the area. Any changes to the size or aesthetics of these homes will require an approval from Ku-ring-gai Council.
There are many Heritage Items in Ku-ring-gai. The aim of the Council’s review of any proposal for the development of a Heritage Item is to ensure the proposal is sympathetic to the form and style of the existing property and its heritage significance.
Martin has successfully designed renovations of Heritage properties in councils across Sydney’s north, including Ku-ring-gai Council.
