Howcan houses be upgraded to meet today's demands - from living comfort via energyefficiency to digital requirements? How can the fusion of historic and newelements be utilized as a design element? The continued use of existing residential buildings, be it a Renaissancetownhouse, a Ming Dynasty atriumhouse, a 19th-century farmhouse, or a post-warbungalow, not only scores with the charm of former years, but actually also withan advantagous ecological balance. Based on carefully selected works, this bookpresents the whole scope of possibilities for extensions and conversions - fromannexes, via new designs for existing spaces, to additional sections, or conceptuallymerged rooms. All are evidence that preservation is a creative challenge thathas many different solutions.
