While we all know we no longer live as we did in Victorian times, it's also true that our way of life has changed dramatically, even in the last two decades. The evolution of family structures, technological advancements, and shifts in social norms demand new solutions for inhabiting spaces inherited from the past without losing their historical and aesthetic value. This book addresses the challenge of modernizing traditional homes while respecting their essence. Many of the renovations presented are based on the principle of preserving the building's original facade, harmoniously integrating it into the urban landscape, while expanding living spaces through rear, side, upper, or even underground extensions. These interventions not only add square footage but also allow for a complete reorganization of interiors, freeing up space and creating open areas that respond to the current desire for greater fluidity, communication, and light within the home. Thanks to advances in building materials and technologies such as high-performance glass and steel profiles, it is now possible to seamlessly connect interior and exterior spaces, open up large areas without compromising the structure, and design versatile and inviting environments. This book celebrates this creative freedom by showing how a historic home can be complemented with a modern extension, not by imitating the past, but by reinterpreting it with sensitivity and boldness. The solutions presented are as varied as they are ingenious: glass doors that replicate the geometry of old windows, slate walls that complement original ceilings, contemporary interiors\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koenemann.Com Gmbh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43378965545166,"sku":"9783741940590","price":109.9,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/0883\/2974\/files\/9783741940590_a.png?v=1771489785","url":"https:\/\/www.bookxcess.com\/products\/bxos6-home-extended-9783741940590","provider":"BookXcess","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
