What happens when a trusted home builder in the Yarra Valley meets a bold architectural vision? You get a project like this, a spectacular transformation of a modest 1976 home into a showstopping, resort-inspired estate that redefines what a home extension in Melbourne can look like.
Crick Building Group took on the challenge of transforming the original structure and completely reimagining its function, form, and future. The result? A five-bedroom plus study sanctuary that now sits confidently at the intersection of cutting-edge design and luxurious liveability.
Architectural Masterpiece
A Bold New Beginning
From the street, the transformation is immediate. A clean-cut, modernist facade introduces the home with a quiet authority. But it’s once you step inside that the real magic unfolds, a grand entrance framed by double-height ceilings, gallery-like spaces, and full-height glazing that captures natural light from every angle.
The extension doesn’t just add space. It redefines the purpose and rhythm of the home.
Entertaining Reimagined
At the heart of the home lies an entertainer’s dream: an open-plan family and dining area anchored by a striking gas log fireplace and polished concrete floors. It’s a space made for gathering, flowing effortlessly into a jaw-dropping kitchen where marble meets mastery.
Here, every detail matters, from the individually cut Pitt cooktop burners embedded in the marble benchtop to the Gaggenau ovens, dual Qasair rangehoods, and a Zip tap that delivers chilled, boiling, or carbonated water at the touch of a button. A full butler’s pantry and integrated Liebherr fridge/freezer round out the space, leaving nothing to be desired.
But we didn’t stop at perfecting the indoors.
Outdoor Living, Elevated
Seamlessly connected to the interior by a dramatic stacker door with retractable blinds, the alfresco area is a masterclass in outdoor living. It features an integrated outdoor kitchen, heat strips for year-round comfort, and tranquil treetop views. Just beyond, a resort-style pool with a heat pump and a 12-person sauna makes it feel like you’re permanently on holiday.
And when it’s time to entertain? There’s a deluxe wine cellar ready to impress your guests or to house your growing private collection.
Purpose-Built Spaces for Every Family Member
For multi-generational families or those working from home, this extension delivers on every front. The master suite is an oasis, with a walk-in robe, private dressing room, Venetian plaster ensuite, and freestanding tub overlooking lush treetops. There’s also a ground-floor guest suite, a dedicated children’s retreat upstairs, and even a custom-built home office studio complete with valley views and a built-in concrete-top desk.
It’s the kind of design that doesn’t just respond to lifestyle needs, it anticipates them.
Every Detail, Considered
This is a home that doesn’t compromise. With multi-zone hydronic and ducted heating, advanced security systems, a double and four-car garage, flush-mounted sprinkler systems, and 3-phase power, Crick Building Group has delivered a turnkey masterpiece that fuses luxury and longevity.
The Crick Approach:
Precision, Passion, and Place
At Crick Building Group, this project represents everything we stand for: craftsmanship without compromise, a deep understanding of the Yarra Valley’s character, and a collaborative process that brings bold visions to life.
What started as a typical 1970s family home is now an architectural innovation, a shining example of what’s possible when experience meets imagination.
