Professional small builder/renovator
Despite their name, the design thinking behind the Californian bungalows seem uniquely suited to the Australian climate. Like the land from which they originate, these houses were designed for sunny climates; The California bungalow floor plan favours natural light and breezy open spaces. Australians’ preference for the spacious American style quickly overtook the demure British designs that first dominated.
If you’re interested in unique Californian bungalow renovations and extensions for your Melbourne home, Supa Group’s specialists would be delighted to help. We have the means and experience to realise your Californian bungalow renovation ideas without diminishing the charm of the existing structure.

California bungalow homes in Melbourne display a range of comfortable architectural earmarks, while effectively catering for seasonal changes in temperature.
To keep everyone cool in summer and warm in winter, many of Melbourne's California bungalows are typically made with local red brick.
While local bungalow variants favour sprawling single-storey designs with a gentle sloping roof, Supa Group gladly offers second-storey extensions well-suited for Californian bungalows in Melbourne.
Supa Group’s California bungalow renovations and extensions maintain the endearing peculiarities of the style, such as ornate architraves and Flemish glass windows.

California bungalows have been around for a while. If your home was built in the period following World War II, or at any time before, chances are that it has a heritage overlay. This means that, as a homeowner, you have a duty to protect the architectural heritage of your local area. Only certain changes can be made to homes with heritage overlays, and each of Melbourne's city councils has different requirements.
If you are unsure whether your California bungalow home has a heritage overlay, contact Supa Group. As Master Builders, we have great experience in navigating local council requirements. We will assess your home and the heritage overlay, and work with you to design an extension that suits your modern lifestyle.
