OLD SCHOOL STYLE

-

TAKE A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE

Traditiona­l styles of housing have a charm you just don’t see anymore. Built during a time when cost wasn’t the overriding factor, these houses came to signify the era in which they were built and represente­d the hopes, dreams and general sentiments of society as a whole. They even had grand names such as Edwardian and Victorian, which were the names of the reigning monarchs when the styles arose, or the uniquely Australian Federation style, which came about during the hope and prosperity of a new nation that was about to form.

TIMELESS DESIGN

A modern neutral colour scheme can’t disguise the gable detailing, prominent verandah and decorative front window of the California­n Bungalow.
