In 2022, JM Homes had the pleasure of transforming a family home in the leafy suburb of Albany Creek, Brisbane. The homeowners wanted a space that felt open, modern, and perfect for entertaining—and that’s exactly what we delivered. This renovation wasn’t just about adding more space; it was about creating a home that reflected the family’s lifestyle and love for hosting friends and family.
The Vision
The goal was to create a seamless living space that brought the kitchen, living, and entertainment areas together. We added a modest extension and reimagined the floor plan to maximise flow and functionality. The result was a spacious new kitchen complete with a handy butler’s pantry and a cosy media room designed for movie nights and relaxation. The design emphasised creating open, flowing spaces that allowed the family to connect easily while also offering zones for privacy and downtime.
The Process
We worked closely with the homeowners to ensure every detail matched their vision. The kitchen became the heart of the home, offering plenty of space for cooking, entertaining, and enjoying family meals. The butler’s pantry not only adds extra storage but also keeps the main kitchen area clutter-free, making it perfect for hosting guests. The media room provides a dedicated space for downtime, blending comfort and style—ideal for family movie nights or quiet reading sessions.
Overcoming Challenges
One of the key challenges was ensuring the extension felt like a natural part of the home. We paid special attention to matching materials and design details, so the new spaces flowed effortlessly with the existing structure. Reworking the layout also required careful planning to maintain structural integrity while improving the overall feel of the home. The result was a transformation that felt both fresh and cohesive.
The Results
The homeowners were thrilled with the result, sharing:
“Josh and Kev from JM Homes completed an extensive renovation to our home in Albany Creek. We were given a competitive quote and a very detailed construction schedule, which was delivered on time. Their communication was excellent throughout the project, and we found them to be very well organised, approachable, and great to work with. The quality of their workmanship is very high. We highly recommend JM Homes for any renovation or building work.”
This project is a great example of how thoughtful design and skilled craftsmanship can completely transform a home. The new spaces are not just functional but perfect for entertaining and everyday living. The addition of the butler’s pantry and media room created new ways for the family to enjoy their home while maintaining a cohesive, modern aesthetic.
