More about the Northern Beaches
The Northern Beaches is a unique and beautiful part of Sydney. Our beaches are not only stunning but also the hub of our community! Families gather at our picnic areas, playgrounds, café, pubs and breweries to socialise and wind down. We have a combination of apartment living and houses and are lucky enough to share the community with many sporting facilities, weekend markets and amazing schools. All these facets make the Northern Beaches appealing for singles, couples and families!
During the 1960s, the Beaches (as the Northern Beaches is friendly known) started to become a well-established option for living with many mass-produced veneer style homes popping up throughout the area. Also, unit blocks and flats were becoming popular dwellings for those who loved to live closer to the ocean. In the 70s, Project Homes were all the rage and new areas on the edge of the Garigal National Park were being established. With all this early urbanisation, it’s not surprising that many people are now reaping the benefits of renovating these older homes to suit the family of today, placing a more modern footprint on the existing homes so they can enjoy the beauty and benefits of living on the Northern Beaches.
Today, homes on the Beaches are adopting a more open plan living style, creating natural light and flow to the home. Removal of walls and reusing quality timbers pre-existing within the home enable the new owners to keep a bit of the home’s original history as well as being mindful of a sustainable build. Many homeowners are opting for natural timbers and elements of stone, concrete and repurposed bricks as materials to create the vibrant, earthy colour pallets that are popular today.
Contemporary, coastal and Hampton style homes with natural hues, elegance and colour schemes (greys, taupes, stone, navy blues) can be achieved by altering the style of your home by renovating or adding to the existing dwelling.
To complete the fresh and stylish look for your home, outdoor entertainment areas, decking, balconies or pergolas will enable you to enjoy the warm summer evenings; by adding outdoor fireplaces, cosy nooks, spa areas you can create a stunning winter experience of the Northern Beaches’ outdoors from the comfort of your own backyard.
Another popular renovation Dependabuild can help you with is expanding to dual living as many Northern Beaches families are choosing to embrace multi-generational living. Adding another space to your home by extending or building a granny flat that merges through to the backyard is a great solution for optimising a larger block. Many family units have adopted this idea to help with caring for family members and saving on the ever-increasing cost of housing. We can help you to design a granny flat or an upstairs addition to incorporate a separate living area for family members that reside in the one home or as an extra living space for guests and growing teenagers, maybe even as an extra rental income to help pay off the mortgage quicker. We work with you to ensure the design maintains a consistent approach to the existing home for maximum appeal.
At Dependabuild, we have a talented group of skilled workers who are part of our team. All our architects, designers, engineers and stylists collaborate to ensure you’re communicated with throughout the building experience in an open and understandable format so there are no surprises. If you prefer, the building team at Dependabuild are also competent at working alongside your chosen professional to ensure you have confidence throughout the building process. Having lived, learnt and worked on the Northern Beaches, we have established a great rapport with local tradesmen who will ensure a build that is completed with integrity!
