Renovation & Extension

A full cottage renovation on Windeyer Street in Mayfield has transformed a once closed-off home into a bright, open space designed for modern living. This project focused on improving flow, functionality and natural light, while still respecting the character of the original home.


The existing layout consisted of smaller, separated rooms that limited both space and usability. The brief was to create a more connected floor plan, allowing for easier day to day living and a stronger sense of openness throughout the home.


The design centred around reworking the internal layout to form an open plan living area. Raked ceilings were introduced to add height and create a greater feeling of space, while natural light now moves freely through the home. A new kitchen and updated bathrooms were also completed, combining practical design with a clean, modern finish.


The result is a light-filled Mayfield cottage renovation that feels both functional and considered. The home now offers a balance of original charm and contemporary living, creating a space that is comfortable, practical and ready for its next chapter.


For homeowners planning a renovation in Mayfield or across Newcastle, Altered Building and Renovations delivers tailored solutions designed to suit the way you live.

Happy to recommend Jesse and the team from Altered. They did a brilliant job at our house this year building a pool deck in a tricky yard (sloped & lots of council conditions) plus fencing, retaining walls and remodeling our pergola. The whole team were always professional, punctual & reliable. Leaving everything neat and tidy and being respectful of the rest of our property and our neighbours. They made the experience stress-free and we will definitely be using them again for our next few projects. Happy to recommend to anyone.
