LOOK TO THE FUTURE

While the facade and front few rooms

of heritage houses are often retained in

near-original style, the rear is another

story. It may be gutted, updated and

extended into a more expansive and

contemporary open-plan kitchen,

living room and dining space.

‘he way we live has changed a lot

over the years. here is now a desire

for a strong connection between

indoor and outdoor spaces,’ says

architect Lindsay.

He believes a new addition need

not be built in the original style of the

existing residence.

‘his muddles history and devalues

what you love about your period home.

Allow the period features to stand on

their own, both in terms of importance

A classic facade maintains

the original character.
