Renovation Trends Shaping Northcote
Victorian Terrace Extensions [k]
Northcote is full of Victorian and early-20th-century homes, many owned by long-term residents and families who want to upgrade without leaving the area. Northcote’s mix of long-term homeowners and professionals means most renovations focus on improving comfort and openness while protecting key period features. The suburb’s 23 parks, walkability and community feel make it highly desirable, so many families prefer to invest in sensitive heritage upgrades.
Heritage & Period Home
Terrace homes are part of Northcote’s character, and their narrow frontages and heritage street appeal often lead homeowners to extend at the rear or add a discrete second storey. With families dominating the 30–39 age bracket, there’s ongoing demand for more space and improved indoor–outdoor living.
Many homeowners choose to retain the ornate period façade and front rooms, while extending behind the original roofline to create brighter kitchens, larger living spaces and extra bedrooms that suit modern family life.

Northcote: Arts, Music and Everything in Between
Northcote is the melting pot for arts, music, history and the hipster subculture. Early settlers of Greek and Italian descent is quite evident and the suburb offers a strong village vibe. As it is a hub for music and arts, Northcote houses live music shows, art exhibits and movies ina rt-deco sounds. They also have innovative bars, cafes, entertainment centres, shops and boutiques that you would love to explore. Truly, there are a hundred ways to discover Northcote!
Northcote is an inner suburb of Melbourne located 6km north-east of Melbourne CBD. The area of this suburb is located in the traditional land of the Wurundjeri people. The suburb has seen the light of progression with evidence of growing settlement and development. Large and expensive houses were built during the Victorian Gold Rush era. Access to the area was made more convenient thru the construction of a bridge across Merrick Street and throughout the 1850s, more establishment was built like schools, hotels and churches that mark their growing period.
Northcote, just like other Melbourne suburb, has gone through gentrification. The suburb started out as a low socio-economic area and as time progresses, the economy started booming. Their entertainment centres do not only provide happiness but also grow to their economy.
Truly, Northcote is a place where you can enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city, which is why RFT Solutions is as proud of this place as you are!
RFT Solutions provides a design and drafting service for Northcote home extensions and renovations. We obtain building cost estimates, all the permits required, then tender, assess and negotiate builders quotes. We tender to builders whose reputation, time in business and quality of work has been recommended by building surveyors. Building surveyors issue the building permit and conduct inspections during construction. They are the best qualified to judge a builder’s quality of work rather than friends or neighbours.

Michael S.
Michael and Trevor helped us with the design, permits and tender for our extension. We are now mid-build and have been very happy with the whole process. It feels like it has gone very smoothly and with a lot less stress than I expected.
Eleanor S.
We have been working with Michael and Trevor on a major renovation to our Heritage listed Californian Bungalow. Both Michael and Trevor led us through each step including council approvals. The savings in tendering more than offset the costs.
I would recommend RFT to anyone looking to engage a company to lead them through a build or renovation.
Gipper G.
We came to RFT solutions as an alternative to the one-stop-shop building companies which offered cheaper up-front design and documentation costs but no competitive tender in the actual build phase. I think RFT offers a very good, cost effective service.
