Fresh perspective on heritage and adaptive design

​​​​​​​Open sesame – part of a major renovation and extension, floor-to-ceiling sliders open the main living areas up to this rear deck and garden, while the deck is sheltered from the street by the carport. The feathered slats on the carport soften its form and admit natural light. Looking to the inside from this angle, it’s easy to see where the old house ends and the new work begins – although in this design the lines demarking the historic from the brand new are to an extent blurred.
