Victorian, Edwardian and period apartment conversions
Hawthorn is period housing and a large number of apartment conversions carved out of older buildings. Conversions frequently have services that were adapted rather than designed, and unpicking them is most of the work on any renovation there.
What the housing stock means for the work
- Services adapted piecemeal during earlier conversions
- Shared stacks in converted buildings
- Owners corporation approval for anything common property
- Period fixtures owners want matched rather than replaced
