Home Remodel
For period homes

The hard part is knowing what to put back, not what to take out.

Older houses are usually remodelled twice: once badly in the seventies, and once now to undo it. Rendering restored mouldings, reinstated fireplaces and period-correct proportions shows what the house is asking for.

What usually goes wrong

  • Original features stripped by a previous renovation
  • Modern flat trim in a room with high ceilings

  • New work that reads as new against old rooms
