Heritage Value -Although the house that became ?Stewart? is atypical to the prescribed requirements that dictate heritage value and sits outside a designated heritage overlay, the design response embraces the principles of the Burra Charter. ?Stewart? celebrates the 1970s brown, brick-veneer, Brunswick house - a quintessential element of Melbourne?s built character that defines a period within Australia?s recent history but is yet to be recognised as having heritage value. The employed strategy focuses on both new elements and light touch design interventions to provide significant impact. Internally, an intentional blending of new and existing conditions leaves viewers questioning where interventions begin and end.
