Our Approach to Heritage Extensions

At Davidov Architects, heritage extensions are about balancing respect for the past with the demands of modern living. We approach each project with a deep appreciation for the historical significance of the building, ensuring that any new addition complements the original architecture while enhancing its functionality.

Heritage projects require careful consideration of both form and detail. We specialize in creating extensions that are sympathetic to the existing structure, using materials and design elements that reflect the building's era, while introducing modern comforts and technologies. The goal is to create a seamless blend where old and new coexist in harmony.

Why Davidov Architects?

Heritage extensions demand precision and expertise. We are experienced in navigating the complexities of heritage regulations, and our designs are sensitive to both the architectural history and the future needs of the space. By incorporating natural, durable materials and minimalist design principles, we create extensions that feel timeless and sympathetic, never seeking to compete with the existing building.

Collaboration is key to our process. We work closely with heritage consultants, local authorities, and our clients to ensure that each project preserves the character of the original structure while bringing it into the present. Whether it’s an addition that respects the streetscape or a more contemporary intervention hidden from view, we ensure that every detail enhances the building's legacy.

Prospective clients are welcome to contact us via the website or phone the studio to schedule a consultation.

We acknowledge that our office is located on the Traditional Lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the East Kulin Nations and pay our respect to their Elders past, present and emerging.
