Servicing Yarraville 3013
Cottage extensions Yarraville actually has room for.
Rear extensions and first-floor additions on Yarraville's narrow-frontage worker's cottages — internal steel, clever setout and a construction sequence built around the block, not the drawings.
Yarraville extensions
5 metres wide, deep as a train carriage.
The classic Yarraville worker's cottage runs 5 to 7 metres of frontage on a long, thin block, with little to no side setback. That geometry rules out external framing as a strategy and pushes structural extensions inward — internal steel portals, load transfers through the original walls, and stairs threaded into space that doesn't really exist yet.
RenoWorx sets out Yarraville extensions from the structural constraint first. The plan that gets drawn is the plan that can actually be built inside your title boundary, without a fight with the neighbours or a redesign after RFI.
