Synopsis

|
When a house is standing as it was first designed and built some 90 years ago, it presents something of a challenge to any potential new owner. To bring it into the 21st century, you could renovate extensively, so that its original structure is unrecognisably altered and something of its spirit lost. Or you could follow the path that Cape Town couple Dean Faclier and Leasa Mensing have favoured, which is to preserve as much of the original structure as is feasible, merely tweaking or expanding elements as necessary to turn it into a more practical home.
