The refurbishment of this dwelling is of particular challenge. The briefing from the owner and the existing house condition were indeed very far apart. The house needed a new thinking and a new logic. Our approach was to think of this house in three different parts, the entry foyer, the main corridor and the rear living open plan, as the front could not be altered for heritage conditions. The refurbishment key factor was to deal with the existing structure and building envelope in order to preserve as much as we could have the existing.
