By Eliza Blair Architecture
Heritage homes are sought after for their grand proportions and charming period details, but they often don't facilitate our more laid-back lifestyles where we love to entertain indoors and out and feel connected to the garden. A striking addition to this heritage home provides its owners with a new light-filled living space and additional bedrooms while flattering the original home's proportions and form.
The roofline of this new two-storey addition follows that of the original house, appearing like a subtle drop shadow from the street and a polite nod to the qualities of the original home. The upper storey in black timber rests on a solid brick podium, which complements the red brick of the original home.
