Additions to Antique Homes
The creation of a new addition to an antique home ought to be designed in an appropriate style with appropriate detail in order not to detract from the original house. This is not as easy as designing an addition to a modern home. The context of the history of the region and locality of the antique home as well as the specific size and configuration are important considerations. The contribution of the addition should enhance the existing old home in terms of function and apparent technology, as well as style, size, aspect, location on the site, and context. Open this Portfolio to learn more about some of the additions we have created. See more about appropriate additions to Antique Homes.
