Working on historical homes is fascinating. Last week I mentioned how a good architectural designer can take a space with a s**t layout and offer the clients a virtual tour of their new home prior to construction commencement. Here’s some before/after/during/renderings. This house was built in 1932 during the Great Depression. The economy was at an all time low from the Wall Street crash, we hadn’t recovered yet from WW1, Amelia Earhart just completed the first solo flight across the Atlantic, and some guys were building this home making $1000 annually. 🤯 Interior walls were removed, some windows and doors were upgraded, almost everything was modernized, but the original history and character was somehow preserved. Almost 100 years ago a family sat around a radio listening to buck rogers and now this couple can watch Bobby flay on their big screen while baking a focaccia pizza in their oven and checking their email on an ipad. Sometimes it’s easier to just scrape the home and start over new but then where would the memories go? Thanks for reading folks! Have a great weekend.
Massive thanks to and .design.az for their dedication to our clients
