Retaining period property character during renovation

February 17, 2015 By Buro Architects Leave a Comment

Owning one of London’s older, period properties may be a matter of some pride to you. This is because when you own an old house in the capital city you also own a piece of history. London has a fascinating history and your house probably has a really interesting story to tell. Its age and character are evidence enough that your house has lived through some remarkable times.

However, an older property naturally needs more TLC than a younger property. This means that you need to be very active when it comes to making sure that your house is in good condition. In many cases, superficial work will not be enough to make a difference. This is when you need to renovate.

On the subject of house renovation London homes do not have to be completely gutted and have their whole character changed in order for them to be better prepared for modern living. The original features can be retained during renovation and the interior design of the spaces worked on can be arranged to fit in with the original character of the house.
