Whole-home renovation
Old houses in the valley are worth saving. We save them without pretending it is 1870.
Half the work we do is on buildings older than the state highway. A farmhouse that has been added onto four times, a rowhouse with three layers of siding, a barn that wants to be a home. The work is part forensics and part restraint: keep the frame, keep the light, keep the proportion, and put the new work where it can be honest about being new. We open the walls before we quote the finish, so the number we give you survives contact with the building.
What is included
- Existing conditions survey and measured drawings
- Structural assessment of frame, sill and foundation
- Historic district and landmark review support
- Envelope, insulation and mechanical replacement
- Kitchen, bath and millwork design
- Phased occupancy planning if you are living in it
Typical duration
9 to 18 months, depending on what we find

The other three
A-101
Custom homes
A house drawn for one family, one site, and one way of living. Nothing off a shelf.
A-103Additions and outbuildings
A wing, a studio, a barn, a guest cabin. Smaller jobs, held to the same drawings.
A-104The drawing studio
Design on its own, if you already have a builder you trust. We will hand over a full set.

Every project here started with a walk on someone's site and an honest conversation about what it could carry. Yours can start the same way.
