Everything changes.

Hello!
It's been a while.
I'm still a fan of modernist houses, I just don't get out and photograph them like I used to. 
There's been lot's of changes in my area.  So many houses have been knocked down to make way for townhouses, McMansions and various other dwellings that don't have the same aesthetic as the old homes they have replaced.
Some houses that I featured on the blog many years back have hit the market and have been saved from the wrecking ball. some have had sympathetic renovations whilst lots have had a heavy dash of white paint and grey tiles slapped on.

This cute little house in Carroll Ave, Croydon, last went on the market in 2010.

Whilst it's lost some of it's warmth from the internal timber, it has been saved from demolition and may appeal to a young family. And I quite like the undercover entertaining space.
