- Preston House -
This project has transformed an inter-war era weatherboard bungalow, balancing heritage preservation with modern design.
The existing house was charming but inefficient and dark, with a rabbit warren layout. The alterations and additions create a more logical, open, comfortable and well utilised space for a growing family without sacrificing the home’s historic charm.
From the client: “there was nothing preventing us from bowling over the existing 1920s era weatherboard home and starting again (no heritage overlays) but we liked the subtle charm of the stained glass windows and large gable facing the street, the large front porch and high decorative ceilings. It made sense to us to keep the front, original part of the house and replace the utilitarian lean to at the back”
