After many were demolished or 'modernised' beyond recognition in the post-war period, old houses were rediscovered around the 1980s as people moved back to the inner city. Period features were tenderly replaced but many of the buildings remained in their original state: small, dark and impractical for families living in the 21st century.This book looks at some of the innovative methods employed by architects to transform these heritage beauties into practical family homes. Blending old and new to support contemporary living, while still respecting the past, is the challenge faced by architects and renovators.The many projects in this book have been collected from around the world and provide abundant ideas and words of advice for anyone faced with the daunting prospect of renovating an older home.
