Our Services

Custom Homes, Extensions, Renovations & Passive Design

Whether you are starting from a bare block, adding space to a home you have outgrown, or building for genuine energy efficiency, we manage the entire process in-house.

Custom-designed home built by Ethnic Homes

Custom Homes

A custom home built around your block, your budget and your brief, not a display-home template. We work with you from concept through council approval, construction and handover.

  • Site assessment and tailored floor plan design
  • Council and planning approvals managed for you
  • Fixed-price building contract, single point of contact

Extensions

Outgrown your home but love your street? An extension adds the bedrooms, living space or second storey you need, designed to match your existing home's roofline and materials.

  • Single and double-storey extensions
  • Rooflines, brick and render matched so the addition is not obvious from the street
  • Minimised disruption to the part of the home you are living in

Renovations

From a single kitchen or bathroom refresh to a full home renovation, we help you make the most of the home you already have without compromising on quality or finish. Structural changes, open-plan reconfigurations and heritage-sensitive updates for older Adelaide homes.

Start Your Renovation

Passive House

Energy-efficient homes with stable, comfortable temperatures year-round. We build to passive-design principles so your new home costs less to run and stays comfortable in every Adelaide season.

01

Air Tightness

A sealed building envelope stops uncontrolled draughts and energy loss.

02

Quality Insulation

High-performance insulation throughout walls, roof and floor keeps temperatures stable.

03

Window Glazing

High-performance double or triple glazing reduces heat loss and gain through glass.

04

Mechanical Heat Recovery Ventilation

Fresh, filtered air is circulated continuously without losing conditioned air.

05

No Thermal Bridges

Careful detailing stops heat from escaping through junctions in the structure.
