The plans reportedly show approximately 2000 cubic metres, an equivalent size of Olympic swimming pool, would be required to complete the build.
In fact, the build will be one of he largest ever undertaken in the Woollahra Council area.
Speaking to the Telegraph, Krissy said that the upgrade was more than a mere renovation.
‘We plan to stay for a long time,’ she told the publication.
‘This isn’t just a renovation, it’s about creating a home that truly reflects who we are and where we want to be for the future.
‘We’ve lived here for over two years and we just love the Double Bay community.’
However, not everyone is chuffed with the mammoth project.

According to the publication the Double Bay Residents Association have issued their formal objection to the plans.
Their submission claims the build is a ‘gross overdevelopment’ of the site, however the plans claim there would be ‘minimal impacts’ on neighbours.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Krissy Marsh for comment.
Krissy took Daily Mail Australia on a tour of her lavish Double Bay property last month.
‘I would like to think it’s my forever home,’ she says, despite not knowing what’s around the corner,’ the reality star said.
‘You never say never and you never say forever because you never know what tomorrow brings.’
However, the mother-of-three’s decision to make the big purchase spans beyond the house’s lush amenities.

‘I love the whole community,’ she says, adding: ‘I love the fact that we’re the house that everyone drops into.’
Krissy revealed she has an open invitation dinner every Tuesday night where some of Sydney’s biggest (and slightly smaller) names drop in for a bite to eat, a chat and a watch party for the third season of Housewives.
As for some of her favourite things in the Double Bay mansion, Krissy lists her dogs, Bronte and Bondi, her family, her extensive art collection (think Slim Aarons and Dina Broadhurst) and her $30,000 chandelier.
And then there’s the wardrobe—a.k.a the stuff every woman’s dreams are made of.
Bigger than the master bedroom it’s connected to, Krissy’s wardrobe is packed with Rolex watches, Gucci bags and a Balmain jacket she dubs ‘a lifetime investment’—not to mention a Louis Vuitton dog bag her pooches adore.
But fashion is a family affair for Krissy, who hopes to pass on her pieces to the people she loves most.
‘I know one day Milana will wear them,’ she said.
‘My sisters, we often swap outfits or my nieces will be like, “Oh, I love that outfit you had on Housewives. Can I wear that?”‘
