Keeping the Heritage Alive in this 1880s Home Renovation

Sometimes we get a bit stuck in the past with heritage homes, fixating on the original build year and forget that the home and society has evolved over 140 years. Queen Bess Row was built in 1886, and ZGA Studio wanted to keep the heritage alive and relevant but in a more contemporary world. Subtle interventions were made during the heritage renovation, including the inclusion of a glass lift, but all was done to not only honour its past but also reflect how we live today.

Thank you for including the floor plans. Really nice addition to these videos.

[@SimpleDwelling]

Thanks for that, took a bit of time re-drawing them as it's a fairly large and complicated place but hopefully they helped to give you an understanding of the home.

[@FairleyTrashed]

Stunning work. What a beautiful and thoughtful project.

[@SimpleDwelling]

I’ll admit, the video doesn’t do the home justice.

[@SAM-lx9mh]

Great design, could have left the piano off for me!

[@SimpleDwelling]

I'm all about the piano music, sorry!

What happened to the Kuzman Architecture 10 x 3m project? We haven't had an update on that in ages...

[@SimpleDwelling]

There will be an update in the next month or so which will bring you up to speed on everything.

Having the lift makes it so much safer to move about the place. People who often climb up and down stairs have a much higher chance or slips, trips and falls.

[@SimpleDwelling]

Exactly. The home belongs to the architect's parents who want to live out their days there, and so mobility and access to the main parts of the home was vital, and the lift accomplishes that.
