Stanmore Project
Alteration & Addition
In 2017, BuildTop successfully completed an Alteration & Addition project in Stanmore, NSW 2048, transforming an existing residence into a more spacious and modern family home. The project was designed to respect the original character of the property while introducing new elements that brought functionality and contemporary comfort.
The works included carefully planned alterations to internal spaces, enhancing the flow and usability of the layout. BuildTop’s licensed team (Builders Licence: 255303C) ensured the additions blended seamlessly with the existing structure, delivering a home that felt both refreshed and cohesive. This balance between old and new allowed the property to retain its charm while meeting modern living standards.
Attention to detail was paramount throughout the project. From structural improvements and layout adjustments to high-quality finishes and fixtures, every stage of construction was executed with precision. Natural light and ventilation were prioritised, ensuring the living spaces felt open, bright, and comfortable.
Delivered on time and tailored to the client’s lifestyle, the Stanmore Alteration & Addition project stands as another example of BuildTop’s commitment to quality craftsmanship. The result is a property that has been elevated in style, comfort, and value, demonstrating BuildTop’s expertise in complex residential renovations across Sydney.

Stanmore Project
The Stanmore Alteration & Addition Project (2017) was a unique opportunity for BuildTop to combine modern architectural principles with the timeless charm of a vintage home. The goal was not only to expand the property but also to introduce a fresh, contemporary style while carefully preserving its existing character. The result was a residence that felt renewed yet respectful of its origins.
One of the most distinctive aspects of this project was the seamless harmony between the home’s vintage elements and modern design updates. Furniture layouts were planned with care, ensuring new open spaces complemented the home’s older features. The new additions did not overshadow the vintage charm but instead enhanced it, creating a balance between heritage appeal and modern functionality.
The kitchen design showcased this balance perfectly. While incorporating premium modern appliances and streamlined cabinetry, the finishes and layout were chosen to reflect the warmth and character of the existing home. The integration of appliances into the cabinetry created a minimalist look, yet the overall aesthetic still respected the property’s vintage style.
Bathrooms and service rooms were transformed with a combination of modern vanities and brass fittings, which introduced sophistication without clashing with the home’s heritage character. The brass detailing provided a subtle nod to traditional design, while the sleek vanities and clean lines aligned with contemporary trends, ensuring both elegance and functionality.
A standout feature of the Stanmore project was the minimal wooden staircase, designed to stylishly blend the old with the new. Unlike traditional bulky staircases, this modern timber structure added warmth and refinement while maintaining the minimalist design language. Its clean lines and open structure allowed light to flow, making the staircase a sculptural element within the home rather than a barrier.
This staircase served as a perfect transitional piece, symbolising the way BuildTop unified the property’s vintage heritage with modern architectural vision. By using natural materials and a minimal approach, the staircase became both a functional necessity and an elegant design statement that elevated the entire interior.
Altogether, the Stanmore Alteration & Addition Project demonstrates BuildTop’s expertise in blending design eras to create homes that are functional, stylish, and timeless. Through careful planning, the integration of modern elements, and a respect for vintage charm, the home now represents a perfect harmony of past and present — a reflection of BuildTop’s craftsmanship and vision in Sydney’s residential construction.
