Doncaster Home Renovation – From Dated to Contemporary Living

Katana was engaged by the clients of Roger Architects to complete a full home renovation in Doncaster.
The vision was clear: transform a dated 1970s double-storey residence into a sleek, modern home with contemporary comfort and style — every room included.

As a leading Melbourne renovation builder, our team tackled this project with a detailed and hands-on approach, ensuring every space felt new, functional, and beautifully cohesive.

Kitchens

From the outset, our team worked closely with the clients and their Architect to bring their vision to life.
We began by reimagining both kitchens, installing modern cabinetry, stone benchtops, high-end appliances, and matte black tapware.
As a result, the spaces now combine visual appeal with improved day-to-day functionality.

Bathrooms

Next, we stripped and rebuilt all three bathrooms, each one designed with a sleek, modern aesthetic.
With custom vanities, full-height wall tiling, premium fittings, and efficient layouts, these bathrooms now offer style and practicality.
One features a luxurious spa bath, while another cleverly integrates a European laundry — blending convenience with smart design.

Living Zones

Meanwhile, the two main living areas — untouched for over 40 years — received a complete makeover.
We opened up internal walls to improve flow and comfort, laid new feature flooring, replastered, and refreshed the palette with a clean, modern colour scheme.

In addition, we transformed all three upstairs bedrooms.
New robes, trims, and cohesive finishes gave each space a fresh, inviting feel — ready for family life.

The entryway also underwent a striking update.
We installed a custom cabinet with backlit LED lighting, creating a welcoming focal point that leads seamlessly to the reconfigured staircase connecting both floors.

Furthermore, we replaced every window throughout the home.
This not only boosted natural light and energy efficiency but also contributed to a crisp, contemporary exterior appearance.

The garage also received a thoughtful upgrade.
We converted the two-door format into a wide single-door design, plastered and painted the internal walls, and finished the floors with durable epoxy — enhancing both style and function.

This Doncaster renovation project showcases Katana’s expertise in full-home transformations.
From design through to final detail, we created a modern, functional home ready to enjoy for years to come.
