Heidelberg heritage: historic meets modern

This project revitalised a charming 1920s Californian bungalow located in the beautiful suburb of Heidelberg, with a careful alteration and addition of the existing dwelling while diligently preserving its historic character and architectural integrity. The design aimed to create a harmonious living space that gracefully blends traditional elements with contemporary comforts, thereby fostering a delightful sense of connection to both the past and present. The key design principles established for this project were Heritage Preservation, Modern Functionality, and Ambiance.

The design approach involved a meticulous balance of preservation and modernisation. The existing bungalow was restored to its original glory and enhanced with thoughtful care, while the addition introduced contemporary elements that not only complement but also enrich the historic house.

Additionally, the interior design focused on creating a cohesive and highly functional space that is both liveable and comfortable, ensuring a seamless flow throughout the house.
