PROPERTY TRENDS

Words by Emily Power

Heritage housing is treasured in Australia for its old-world charm, but what “heritage” will look like in the future is now being debated.

Homes of the past are rich in ornate detail. Homes built today, and standing strong a century from now, will be judged less on decoration and more on performance. Sustainability and the longevity that comes with it are defning attributes.

Designing for future heritage value pushes against short-term thinking in housing development.

Meaningful contribution

Liam Wallis, the founder of boutique developer Hip V. Hype, says heritage is less about age and more about enriching neighbourhoods.

“We have a responsibility for how those buildings contribute to and enhance the city,” he says. “For me, it comes down to how well any given design has captured the essence of place.”

The word “heritage” refers to the places, values and traditions that “capture where we’ve come from, where we are now and give context to where we are headed as a community”, says the federal government’s Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water.

From stately Federation manors to ornate Victorian terraces, handsome Edwardian residences, and groovy mid-century apartment blocks, heritage homes are a window to the Australia of the time.

Tomorrow’s heritage homes will also reveal the social milieu of today. Ecoconscious inclusions, such as insulation for thermal stability, smart appliances, low-carbon and recycled materials, and renewable energy, are addressing the challenges of climate change and resource management.

Helen Oakey, the chief executive of not-for-proft organisation Renew, says climate resilience will be an important benchmark.

“Whether that’s heat or bushfre, storms or foods, managing those impacts for home safety and comfort will be super-important,” she says. “Fifty years into the future, I think we’ll see more homes that refect the story of preparing for climate resilience in diferent places.”

Hip V. Hype’s Davison Collaborative in Brunswick and Ruskin Elwood in Elwood were completed in 2020 and demonstrate future heritage thinking in practice. Ruskin Elwood, on the canal,

“It comes down to how well any given design has captured the essence of place.”

The future of heritage houses

Australia’s next generation of heritage homes will be defned by sustainability, resilience and how well they stand the test of time.

is a passive-design development of four townhouses that replaces two earlier dwellings and can run on 100 per cent renewable energy.

Davison Collaborative is a collaboration with architect Archier to replace a single post-war house with three fossil-fuel-free townhouses.

Wallis and his partner, former Olympic skier Katya Crema, who is Hip V. Hype’s head of sales, lived in Davison Collaborative for two years. They experienced how the homes maintain a steady temperature through all seasons.

It’s a building seal that Wallis calls “envelope performance”.

Materials such as masonry and timber were chosen because they patinate rather than wear down, Wallis says. He notes the Elwood and Brunswick projects have matured as intended.

“The aim is for the building to look better in fve to 10 years’ time than on the day it is fnished,” Wallis says.

“If you think about how to make it easier for occupants to maintain a building through time, then it’s more likely to be looked after.”

“Fifty years into the future ... we’ll see more homes that refect the story of preparing for climate resilience.” Helen Oakey

Wesley Spencer Wexhaus director

“We need to look at how we build longerlasting buildings.”

Wexhaus director and architect Wesley Spencer also points to durability as a test of value.

“We need to look at how we build longer-lasting buildings, those designed to last for 100, 200 or 300 years,” he says. “I think that when people refect on our practices, they’ll consider that how we build today is the fast-fashion of architecture. Most [buildings] won’t survive past 2050, so we may not even have the opportunity to get nostalgic.”

Upgrading sustainably

Julie Mulhauser’s Melbourne home of 20 years was cutting-edge in many ways, but not in thermal regulation. The 1977 Merchant Builders house was cold, and bugs could “come and go as they pleased” through gaps, she recalls. “We were freezing, wearing beanies and under doonas to watch the TV.”

Now retroftted to go the distance, her Graeme Gunn-designed home in Canterbury is set to open on May 17 for Sustainable Houses Day – an annual initiative of Renew.

The improvements included enhancing airtightness, adding insulation to the roof, installing double-glazed windows, and upgrading to electric appliances.

The execution was technical and required robust verifcation, Mulhauser says. “These are not insignifcant fnancial decisions people are taking to alter their homes, and you really need the confdence that it will work.”

Nature-led design

Others are embedding these ideals from the ground up. David Cummins is the founder of Future Property Group, which uses modular construction for its carbonnegative eco-lodges, following three years of research and design.

David Cummins Founder of Future Property Group

“We believe that the future heritage value is a building that actually works with nature.”

“A lot of the traditional prefab homes are generally, in my experience, a place that shelters and a place to sleep,” he says. “We really went deep with our interior design for an emotional experience.”

Cummins says that investigating the use of hemp, mycelium (mushroom), sugarcane, and mud in modern construction is the next frontier.

“We believe that the future heritage value is a building that actually works with nature through energy efciency, healthy materials and a low-carbon design,” he says.

Ultimately, Wallis believes, future heritage value will be determined by generations to come.

“It’s up to others,” he says. “We do the best we can to deliver on a vision, but it’s like raising a child – at a point you’ve got to hand it over.”

Those attitudes will evolve over time, Spencer says: “We might not entirely appreciate everything about the places that we inherit, but in the future there will probably be an appetite to restore and retain them.”

A peaceful sanctuary of style and space

Room to spread: The home has multiple living areas, both inside and out, that cater well to growing families and are perfect for entertaining.

There’s a lot of bling going into luxury homes these days. If your pockets are deep enough, you can have whatever you desire – perhaps an indoor cricket pitch, a pickleball court, or a state-of-the-art golf simulator.

This Grifth house, however, takes a more refective approach. It features a Zen-infuenced water garden flled with koi, with a Japanese-style bridge and an island seating area.

While certainly unique, this tranquil feature is just the beginning. Pleasant design surprises continue throughout this brand-new, two-storey home, which packs in a whole lot of living.

The appeal starts right at the kerb, with an ultra-modern facade characterised by sweeping curves and vertical timberslatted screens. Making the most of its 1000-square-metre-plus block, the property has an enclosed front courtyard that immediately expands the outdoor entertaining options, though there is much more to come in the backyard.

Inside, the lower-level foor plan delivers multiple living options at the front of the home, complemented by substantial family spaces and a guest suite toward the rear.

Mario Sanfrancesco of Blackshaw Manuka says the distinctive home strikes the perfect balance.

“There’s no doubt it makes a strong architectural statement from the street, but that’s only part of the story,” he says.

“What strikes me about the interiors is the proportions and the possibilities. The rooms are generous, and there is [real fexibility] in how they can be used.”

The entryway opens into an expansive interior space that’s flled with northern light drawn in through expansive glazing between the soaring ceilings and the pale engineered-timber fooring.

A divided room here ofers distinct zones. One side, with access to the front courtyard, could serve as a work-fromhome space. The other provides a chillout area with an electric freplace and calming views of the Zen garden.

The interior options continue with a home cinema featuring a drop-down screen and a Yamaha speaker system.

For Sanfrancesco, the home is the epitome of considered design.

“You can tell everything has been carefully thought through in terms of practical needs,” he says. “But it delivers on wants as well – those luxury inclusions you don’t fully appreciate until you experience them.”

That’s perhaps best expressed in the open-plan living area, which introduces a dramatic twist through a sunken lounge of grand proportions. This space is anchored by a seven-metre wall of glass and a second electric freplace.

The gourmet kitchen is centred around a fve-seat island bench, backed by a complete Miele appliance package that includes an integrated fridge-freezer, ovens, a warming drawer, cofee station and dishwasher. A fully equipped butler’s

pantry, with an additional cooktop, keeps frenetic meal prep out of sight.

Waiting diners can be entertained at the illuminated dry bar in the dining space.

Overnight guests are welcomed into their own suite towards the rear of

the home, which includes a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite.

The architectural drama continues upstairs, with a view over the lower level.

This foor houses three more bedrooms and a versatile rumpus space.

The giant primary retreat has its own sitting area and a generous walk-through wardrobe that leads into an opulent en suite with a free-standing bath.

Back downstairs, bifold doors open seamlessly to the covered outdoor entertaining domain and al fresco kitchen. Here, the “bling” returns in full force: a pristine pool, a putting green, and a sunken fre pit with seating for 15.

Sanfrancesco says it’s a home that does more than provide a living space.

“It has absolutely everything a family might need, but it delivers a range of spaces that serve diferent purposes and needs,” he says. “From refective spaces like the Zen water garden through to the recreational outdoor options, it’s a home for everyone.”

RENOVATION

Words by Efe Mann

This couple saved $70,000 in labour costs, just so they could splurge on one luxe feature. Every successful renovation is a negotiation between vision and budget, and travel writer Sheriden Rhodes and developer Tom Szecsodi know this frsthand. Here’s what they learned.

In her work as a travel writer, Sheriden Rhodes has checked into plenty of weekend rentals, so when it came to creating one, she knew exactly what she was after – something with a “luxe feel” and “heritage character” to start.

It didn’t hurt to have her husband, Tom Szecsodi, on hand. As a developer and seasoned renovator with some 15 properties under his (tool) belt, he has been described as “a builder without the certifcate”, Rhodes says.

“We weren’t going in blind, especially not Tom,” she adds. “He has always been very handy.”

The property search took longer than they had anticipated in 2020’s COVID-19 landscape, but the couple fnally landed on the historic Hunter River port town of Morpeth in the Hunter Valley region of NSW.

Szecsodi drove from Newcastle to inspect a property and by the day’s end had made an ofer on a diferent one – a rundown 1950s house within walking distance of the heritage-listed main street and popular restaurant Boydell’s.

Still, Rhodes couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

“I wanted something that was pretty much done, and here was this ugly house,” she says with a laugh. “It had ugly carpet, this disgusting blue bathroom, the kitchen was awful … but in hindsight, it was a really good decision.”

The couple paid $620,000 for the property in October 2020. It included an empty block at the back on its own title and recently sold for $420,000.

Champagne reno on a beer budget

Travel writer Sheriden Rhodes and property developer Tom Szecsodi took a tired Morpeth cottage in the Hunter Valley and turned it into a thriving short-term stay.

Hoping to keep costs low, they initially planned to spend $90,000 renovating the place, but as the price of materials continued to rise (and the vision grew a little grander, Rhodes concedes), that amount increased to $200,000.

“That’s still considered a budget reno,” Rhodes says. “I think it’s all about knowing where you can save and where you do really need to spend.”

The couple were spared close to $70,000 in labour costs, as Szecsodi – with kelpie Coco in tow – spent hours prepping for tradespeople and DIYing what he could.

“I won’t say we saved by ‘doing the work ourselves’,” Rhodes laughs, “because I wasn’t doing a lot of that. But Tom did the gardening, he helped build the deck, all the landscaping, stripping out. He also did a lot of the painting inside.”

However, Rhodes can take credit for saving by treasure hunting, often dragging daughter Ella, then 12, along.

“I guess I wanted the champagne on a beer budget,” Rhodes says. “I wanted quality things in the house, but where I could, I would fnd them at a discounted rate or second-hand.”

The leadlight window in the kitchen, a designer Normann Copenhagen pendant light, a cast-iron bed, a leather couch and an island bench were all Facebook Marketplace bargains.

Vintage stores, op shops and discount outlets delivered on everything from white goods to decorative items. Even the lovely Nectre wood freplace was foor stock, so it came at a discount.

Another saving was the kitchen, which Rhodes sourced from Bunnings and then paired with a country-style island bench on canisters. With appliances included, it came in at $10,000, about a third of the other quotes they had received.

One space Rhodes was not willing to skimp on was the bathroom. Inspired by another Airbnb cottage, her heart was set on the “luxurious, old-fashioned feel” of herringbone tiling, but the design proved expensive to lay – $7000, to be exact.

“I just see something and I just go, ‘I want it to look like that!’ and I believe it can happen, probably to Tom’s frustration, pulling his hair out – ‘You can’t do that; you can’t do that!’ ” she says. “But you can bring your vision to pass.”

River Haus now seems right at home amid the street’s century-old houses, with its white picket fence and cottage garden.

Inside, Rhodes’ aesthetic, combined with the heritage features, has proven catnip to bridal parties and weekenders since opening to guests in December 2021.

“It really turned out how I pictured in my head, and fnancially it was a really good buy,” Rhodes says. “The house is now estimated to be worth about $1.1 million to $1.2 million, and it’s run as a really successful short-term rental.”

Rhodes has plenty of advice for anyone considering a holiday rental investment.

“I’m the dreamer and Tom’s the realist, so my advice is what he has drilled into me,” she says. “It has to actually make money, so you’ve got to look at the cost of the property versus what you are

going to be able to rent it out for, your repayments and how much it’s going to cost to renovate and maintain.”

It’s also about “heads on beds”, Rhodes adds. A one-bedroom property will make it harder to cover costs. River Haus originally slept four, but adding a bed made a big diference to their income.

Lastly, Rhodes says, think about what sets your property apart. “If there are two cute heritage cottages available and one has a bath, a freplace and a swing out front, people will choose ours,” she says.

“When you’re away, you have the space to enjoy these little extras; you have the luxury of time to have a bath.”

“It really turned out how I pictured in my head, and fnancially it was a really good buy.” Sheriden Rhodes

Rich in detail and personality

At 5 Hurley Street in Mawson, it’s the details that do the talking –and they have plenty to say. They start right at the entrance of the single-level house. Panelled walls and statement lighting set the tone, while timber batten detailing reappears throughout, adding warmth and rhythm against a crisp, modern palette. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with stone benchtops, sleek cabinetry and high-quality appliances. Wrapped by windows, it ofers garden views from diferent angles, with many spots to sit

for casual dining, including one perfectly positioned to take in the greenery.

The adjoining living room boasts a feature freplace, framed by custom joinery that transforms it into a design moment in its own right.

The accommodation is generous, including a substantial main-bedroom suite and well-appointed secondary bedrooms, each of which continues the home’s cohesive material palette.

Plantation shutters add softness and privacy, while thoughtful storage is integrated throughout.

What the agent says

“This is one of the most impeccably presented homes I’ve had the privilege to represent. Feedback from our open homes has been overwhelmingly positive, refecting its exceptional appeal and fnish.”

Beautifully landscaped gardens wrap the home with layered planting, mature greenery and a series of sunlit nooks designed for slow mornings or easy entertaining.

An undercover al fresco area extends the living and dining zones outdoors, while the oversized double garage includes a workshop space.

But it’s the smaller moments – a perfectly placed pendant, the wallpaperwrapped powder room sink, the layering of materials – that give the home its real personality.

An opportunity to strike hospitality gold

Developers might like to sharpen their shovels and head for Gold Creek Village in Nicholls, where an amazing prospect awaits.

Approval has been granted within the popular tourism precinct for a gamechanging development on a site of just over 8100 square metres.

Greg Lyons of LJ Hooker Commercial says there’s DA approval for a boutique hotel and a function centre, along with parking.

“It’s an exciting opportunity to build a three-storey hotel ofering 57 rooms and a 400-seat function centre,” he says. “There’s nothing like that on the city’s northern edge, and it couldn’t be in a better location.”

Lyons says the combination would hold strong appeal for the tourism and events markets. “It could certainly draw national and community groups for conferences, training and more,” he says.

“Plus, it would provide a unique location for personal events like weddings, with accommodation and a reception venue in one place.”

Gold Creek Village hosts a wide range of visitor attractions, including the National Dinosaur Museum,
