We loved sinking our teeth into the research it took to gut and restore this historical 1885 gem. After permitting, construction, design coordination and a lot of creativity, we built this antique-modern home with eco-friendly features, visually connected floors, and calculated light and privacy.

What did it take? A complete gutting and leveling of the entire structure to compensate for over a century of settling. Structural framing and finish carpentry of the interior stair was complex—as was crafting and installing the comprehensive trimless details, motorized sliding window system and the floor-to-ceiling, custom-fabricated cabinetry—and we loved it.
