# Old Becomes New: Housing Transformation - Hardcover

by **Dorian Lucas** (Author)

  
How  
can houses be upgraded to meet today's demands - from living comfort via energy  
efficiency to digital requirements? How can the fusion of historic and new  
elements be utilized as a design element? The continued use of existing residential buildings, be it a Renaissance  
townhouse, a Ming Dynasty atriumhouse, a 19th-century farmhouse, or a post-war  
bungalow, not only scores with the charm of former years, but actually also with  
an advantagous ecological balance.  
Based on carefully selected works, this book  
presents the whole scope of possibilities for extensions and conversions - from  
annexes, via new designs for existing spaces, to additional sections, or conceptually  
merged rooms. All are evidence that preservation is a creative challenge that  
has many different solutions.
