In this episode, we dive into the art of renovating in phases—smart, strategic, and family-focused! Join us as we sit down with Anna Crawford, an incredible BuildHer and DevelopHer who has been part of our community for six years, and who we believe has mastered the balance of juggling a growing family and an ever-evolving home renovation.
We chat about her beautiful latest project in Kew East, named ‘Hale Cottage’ and explore how to make spaces work best for your current needs while leaving room for future flexibility as your life and family expand. With thoughtful planning, you can transform your home into a sanctuary without compromising on comfort or style, all while staying on budget.
Whether you’re a seasoned developer or taking on your first project, this episode is a practical example of phasing renovations, creating multifunctional spaces, and future-proofing your design choices. Get ready to be inspired to think creatively and strategically about your next build or reno.
This stunning renovation has to be seen to be appreciated and is currently on the market – so be quick if you’d like to snap up a dream home!
