Designing a Heritage Home with Lysaght's Modern Materials 

A heritage design house blends historical charm with classic architecture. Whether restoring a heritage-listed house or designing a new home with period details, choosing the right materials is key.

Lysaght’s roofing, walling, and complementary products help homeowners preserve classic aesthetics while ensuring modern durability.

What Makes a Home Heritage Style?

A heritage house takes inspiration from Ancient Greece and Rome, British architecture, and Greek Revival styles. Key features include: 

• Ornate Details & Decorative Features – Intricate fretwork, detailed cornices, and iron lacework define the heritage facade.
• Pitched Roofs & Corrugated Profiles – Traditional floor plans often feature steeply pitched roofs, ideal for durability and aesthetic appeal.
• Symmetry & Balance – Many classical house plans embrace proportionate windows, verandahs, and entryways.
• Natural Light & Ventilation – Tall windows and open layouts maximise natural light while allowing airflow.
