The importance of maintaining building character

  • News
|10.06.19

Modern Kitchen Design

The character of a building has the potential to create a unique, cohesive feature to any home – it just has to be appreciated in the right way!

We love working the new in with the old, to craft a timeless interior which seamlessly blends the traditional with the modern. The balance between the two is really important in creating a successful space, as the new items added need to either fit within the characteristics or juxtapose them just the right amount!  Heritage homes are a personal favourite of ours, whether is a beautiful traditional Queenslander or an industrial converted Wool store – we love bringing its individual features to life and celebrating the history of the buildings bones. 

So we wanted to share with you a few of our favourite heritage projects and the top tips which guide us!
