Narraweena rennovation Project in sydney living

project Description

This project consisted of an extension to the front and back of the house. The house was very small internally yet had a lot of space around the property to expand. The entire house was transformed into a spacious and well designed home for a family to enjoy.

RCD Projects worked with Wega Smart Homes to create a house with all the latest smart home systems.
