Homes should evolve with the people who live in them. Maybe your family has grown, your lifestyle has changed, or you just want to improve the space you already have. At Scott Ede Design, we help homeowners in Central Otago with renovations, extensions, and upgrades whether it’s a simple refresh, a modern extension, or a full-scale transformation.
Renovating can feel like a big task, but it doesn’t have to be stressful. Our focus is on making the process as smooth and practical as possible, working alongside you to bring your ideas to life while ensuring your home remains functional, comfortable, and true to its character.
Smart Renovations That Work for You
A renovation doesn’t always mean knocking things down and starting over. Often, small changes like reconfiguring layouts, upgrading insulation, or improving natural light can have the biggest impact. Maybe you want to open up your living space, improve energy efficiency, or modernise an older home while keeping its original charm.
Whatever the goal, we take a practical and thoughtful approach, helping you find ways to improve your home while keeping what already works. The result should feel natural like an upgrade that was always meant to be there.
Seamless Extensions That Add Value
If you need more space, an extension can be a great solution. Whether it’s an extra bedroom, a bigger kitchen, or even a self-contained Airbnb-style unit, we focus on designing additions that feel like they’ve always been part of the home.
A well-planned extension should enhance your home’s flow, maintain its character, and be both functional and visually appealing. We consider everything from material selection to rooflines and proportions to ensure your new space blends seamlessly with the existing structure.
Balancing Old and New
Central Otago is home to many beautiful historic properties, and we love helping homeowners preserve their character while making them more practical for modern living. Whether it’s restoring original features, improving insulation, or designing an extension that complements an older home, we take care to strike the right balance between old and new.
Blending traditional architecture with modern upgrades takes careful planning, but when done well, it can completely transform how a home looks and functions without losing the charm that makes it special.
A Straightforward and Supportive Process
Renovating or extending your home doesn’t have to be overwhelming. We aim to keep things simple by:

Exploring design options: Whether you have a clear vision or just a rough idea, we’ll refine it into a solid plan.
