Croydon, Victoria: B.P’s Mid-Century home

Mid-Century modest home in Croydon, Victoria with unusual stack-bond brickwork.

“We recently had Alistair (Dr Retro House Calls) pay us a visit to see and talk about our new to us Mid Century Modest home. There is no question all the positive feedback relating to the Dr Retro House Calls is well deserved.

We gained a deeper understanding of our home, its structure and where our budget and time should be directed; all through a very enjoyable discussion. We now have additional options we had not considered to restomod our home, keep it in character and meet the needs of a home circa 2020.

No doubt we have been saved from making some errors and have much better awareness of how we should tackle this restomod. We have also been linked to additional resources to help 1/ learn more and 2/ make the whole process more enjoyable for both of us – as it should be.

A Dr Retro House Call is an appointment with a Mid Century specialist. It can plant the seeds to ideas that may not or perhaps never be apparent. That’s the experience and passion for these homes that Alistair brings – it’s hard to find.

Our advise is to do it early in your project – particularly if it is a Mid Century Home and you want to modernise while retaining the original character of your home.”
