What to Expect from Homes Built Over 50 Years Ago 🏠✨ Considering a home built over 50 years ago? These properties are rich in history, character, and unique architectural details that are rare in modern homes. But they also come with important considerations: 📌Architectural Charm: Expect distinctive styles like Victorian, Craftsman, or Mid-Century Modern, with high-quality craftsmanship, intricate woodwork, and vintage fixtures. 📌Solid Construction: Many older homes feature sturdy foundations and thicker walls, providing durability and sound insulation. Potential Renovations: Be prepared for updates, like modernizing electrical systems, plumbing, and key areas like kitchens and bathrooms. 📌Historical Significance: Owning such a home offers a piece of history but may come with renovation restrictions to preserve its original architecture. 📌Energy Efficiency: Improvements like insulation upgrades, double-pane windows, and modern HVAC systems may be needed. 📌Prime Location: Often in established neighborhoods with mature landscaping and easy access to amenities. 📌Buying a home with this much history can be rewarding, blending charm with modern comforts.

According to a new survey by Forbes, smaller, custom-designed homes are on the rise, with more people prioritizing natural light, walkable neighborhoods, and multi-generational living. But what about the materials used to build these homes? The survey found that interest in low-maintenance materials dipped slightly, possibly due to inflation.     What do you think are the most important things to consider when designing a home? #architecture #realestate #design #interiordesign #home #dreamhome #survey #forbes #naturallight #walkableneighborhoods #multigenerationalliving #materials #inflation

CREATING SPACE & ADDING VALUE #CommercialToResidentialConversions present both a challenge and an opportunity for the #Developer. Whilst finding the ultimate reconfiguration and layout is critical, so is identifying any opportunity to create additional space. #VerticalDevelopment is one such example that if space allows, can provide invaluable new living space if correctly conceived of and designed. The middle (and largest) of our three-unit conversion will deliver this in very generous proportions. In addition to a fully waterproofed 615 sq ft basement storage area, it will also benefit from four double bedrooms, two of which are ensuite, with three on the first floor whilst the fourth has been created from the impressive roof space. Be sure to FOLLOW this series of posts to see this beautiful ensuite bedroom space come to life. #ArchitecturalDesign #VerticalPlanning #LoftConversions #StructuralAlterations #CellarConversions #PermittedDevelopment #OmegaKitchens #OmegaPLC

Renovating an older home can be a challenge, especially when deciding which original features to keep. One element we always recommend preserving in period homes is the arches. They bring an understated grandeur and serve as a perfect bridge between classic charm and modern design, creating a seamless blend of old and new. 📞 1300 271 429 #mwhomes #mwhomesrenovationexperts #homerenovations #homerenovationsmelbourne #renovationexperts #renovationexpertsmelbourne #melbournerenovations #melbournerenovationexperts #renovations #carpenter #expertrenovations #renovationsmelbourne #homemakeovers #easternsuburbsrenovations #renovationeasternsuburbs

The latest victim of the shrinking home: HALLWAYS. When asked how designs are shifting to make homes smaller, architects and residential designers tell us... 🗨 "[We] reduced circulation [and] simplified the foundation to be more efficient." 🗨 "[We are] applying a conscious effort to comfortably provide only the space that is needed for a room. Often this accompanies an effort to efficiently control circulation within and between spaces." 🗨 "Elimination of hallways as much as possible." What's driving this trend? Homes are shrinking to become more affordable, but we still need the same number of rooms and features (like bedrooms, home offices, etc). We can reduce room sizes, but we don’t want rooms to be TOO small. Hallways and other circulation spaces aren't places we spend time, so we can make them smaller without much impact on the homebuyer, as long as the house still flows well.

Next up on our #SNYLturns20 is the residential tower One Hundred. Project we collaborated with Studio Gang Architects. One Hundred is a residential tower located in St. Louis, Missouri. Consisting of four-story tiers throughout the tower housing residential apartments, amenities, parking, and retail spaces with views of the park to the West and the Gateway Arch to the East. One of the major design themes was centered around solar carving and the idea of angling elements to provide self-shading under specific lighting conditions. The goal: give the building form a purpose relative to the performance. Every fourth story introduces a "serrated" terrace, adding a playful complexity to the design. The building's plan is also serrated, which creates different and diverse views for each unit. This resulted in a lot of unique glass that was non-rectangular glass panels. As you go through the building you can identify trapezoid-looking glass that is only repeated every fourth level.

Every vantage point in this home is stunning, but this vignette is such a pleasant view. . . . And that's what matters most in every build and project we take on: our client's satisfaction and comfort. Some may disagree (though I hope not!), but we believe that luxury homes should always be comfortable, livable and perfectly pleasing to the client...no matter which corner they curl up in or view they choose to enjoy. It's all about THEIR comfort and vision rather than some generic standard of luxury. Put the client first. Bring your expertise and experience to bear. Make their dreams come to life...it makes all the difference. #luxuryhomebuilder #interiordesign #lovewhereyoulive #luxuryhomes #customhomebuilder #bespokedesign #davidlewisbuilder #dallashomes #fortworthhomes #architecture #buildyourdreamhome #dreamhomes #interiordesigninspiration
